Tropical Reading: Photobook and Self-Publishing illustrate the photography practitioners and artist
collectives from each city in Southeast Asia, examining why they chose to get into self-publishing. It
explores how independent art bookstores came to be the social parlours of the self-publishing crowd.
Furthermore, observes how the outsider artists, archives and arts initiatives of Southeast Asia came to shape
the face of photography and self-publishing in their respective cities. The index is a compilation of our
project field research, condensing the profiles of all the interviewees – from people to bookstores to
organizations – to make a kind of alternative Yellow Pages for the Southeast Asian art scene.
