J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Ben Brody

Brody debunks lies and shatters delusions by confronting false narratives and simplistic notions of war. Revealed is the perpetuation of military-created propaganda commonly amplified by legacy formats of the media. War, Brody argues, does not contain moral and noble causes nor glorifies or institutes an ideology; it weaponizes human instincts and makes monsters of everyone. In this book group, Ben Brody discusses, among other things:Self publishing realities aka the brutality of bookmakingThe key factor of the photographers intention The import of citizen journalismUsing the medium of the book to layer conceptEssential expertise of book designers Artists who use photo vs photographers who use artSelf Licking Ice Cream Cones (see glossary)Starting your own book imprintReferenced in the episode Kummer & Hermann Groundtruth ProjectReport4AmericaForeverstan ProjectMass BooksParis Photo/ Aperture Photobook AwardsBen Brody Website | InstagramEngage with J.
