Editor's pick
Ins and outs of self-publishing
Kaamna launched her publishing imprint Editions JOJO in 2019 and it has since evolved into a platform for contemporary visual culture in India. JOJO is now present worldwide and has expanded its activities into a photobook library and other peripheral activities related to contemporary lens-based practices. Kaamna’s work requires her to juggle between the computer and physical prints, testing out forms and making dummies before taking them to print. In the interview, she mentions how the process of going from idea to finished book can vary significantly in terms of time where Dori took 5 years, In Today’s News took 5 months, and Cake Cutting took a few weeks. She adds “It starts with an idea or noticing a pattern in the way I’m making or looking at images and then build from there.”
