Our goal is to create the course that we would have liked to have when we were students. Because of its absence, we were forced to build a complementary vision as authors, designers, publishers and critics, one that has become fundamental in the last decade. A theoretical and practical master, mixing the personal experience in the editing, the design and the production process of a book dummy with the history of the photobook and the strong teaching of consolidated authors. A master where the experimentation will prevail and will be based on students’ proposals, to develop coherent results for any personal project. The photobook as a possible language and not as a trend, the photobook as a necessity, when necessary, the photobook as culture. LIBRO is a master organized by Door Educational in cooperation with Ricardo Cases and Antonio Xoubanova.
"There are books like that, you know them so well and yet they somehow still surprise you even as you change. Those are the books I keep that don’t get neglected and dusty. Lots of dust is the sign of a poor choice." J.Ladd
