  • TANJA LAŽETIĆ ON BOOKS, SELF-PUBLISHING AND MAKING IT ABROAD

    Tanja Lažetić is a visual artist who never settles for just one way of artistic expression – in her work, she uses everything from photography, installation, video, to performance art and ceramics. Apart from her diverse artistic projects, she’s been researching the format of the artist book since 2006 and has already published 24 since then. Her books are in some of the biggest museum collections in the world; her most recent one, 100 Flowers, was published in 2020 in a collaboration of Galerija Fotografija and Didakta. She is currently working on a limited-edition print series, which will be available at a special price for a limited amount of time. Below is the conversation we had with the artist, in which she gives the younger generation advice on how to begin publishing at all, answers why artists should publish books, how to self-publish artist books, and why working internationally is important.
