{"title":"This Book Is True","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis Book Is True is an independent photobook publisher founded by Cristina de Middel in 2015, growing from her experience with self-publishing The Afronauts. Its catalogue combines De Middel’s own books with publications by other photographers, including Bieke Depoorter and Carlos Alba. Darwin selects the imprint for its commitment to artist-led publishing: books conceived as complete works, where editing, design, format and production remain closely tied to photographic authorship.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-afronauts-cristina-de-middel-this-book-is-true-2024","title":"THE AFRONAUTS — Cristina de Middel — This book Is true — 2024","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eDe Middel reconstructs Zambia’s improbable 1964 space programme through staged photography, archival language and fiction, deliberately unsettling the conventions of documentary representation. Originally self-published in 2012, the project became a key photobook of its generation, receiving an ICP Infinity Award and recognition from Paris Photo–Aperture and Deutsche Börse. This fourth edition returns the work in a compact hardcover format, preserving the collision of historical fact, constructed imagery and speculative storytelling that defines the original project. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitle: The Afronauts\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Author: Cristina de Middel\u003cbr\u003eDate: 2024\u003cbr\u003eEdition: Fourth edition\u003cbr\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 23.5 × 17.5 cm\u003cbr\u003ePages: 88\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: This Book Is True\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-84-09-65562-5\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"This books is true","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54805788262738,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_copy_6f1d96b0-03e2-4275-b2fd-1f463e9f1a31.jpg?v=1790104099"},{"product_id":"cartas-al-director-cristina-de-middel-this-book-is-true-2023","title":"CARTAS AL DIRECTOR — Cristina de Middel — This Book Is True — 2023","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eConceived for De Middel’s exhibition at Madrid’s Sala Canal de Isabel II, this catalogue connects four projects that challenge the authority of conventional news narratives: \u003cem\u003eJourney to the Center\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGentlemen’s Club\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Kabuler\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eVida y milagros de Paula P.\u003c\/em\u003e Migration, prostitution, war and violence are approached through De Middel’s characteristic collision of documentary evidence and constructed storytelling.
