handmade book “Fodor’s in Japan” is featured today on Lenscratch! ›

Lenscratch, August 2025

"A 1971 Fodor’s guidebook to Japan became the repurposed artist book Fodor’s in Japan by Nancy Farese. Carved out beautifully the book with the antique red cover became the house of the carefully made accordion folds. I am intrigued by the idea, the thought process and the attention to details. The knots with the twine that give the ‘ephemeral’ nature of unique experience and the worn and faded pages carrying the stain of time blended beautifully with the images of the natural world, the season and light, the passing or resting people, the silent and transformational moments from Japan. A beautiful book object!” — Laila Nahar

Lens-based artist, publisher, and photobook maker, Laila Nahar, was invited to select her top picks as a guest critic at the Griffin Museum Handmade Photobook Exhibition. Read the interview on @lenscratch. Thank you to @alinesmithson, @naharlaila, @datzpress and @griffinmuseum
