The photographer Katharina Fröschl-Roßboth and her husband decided to share parental leave after the birth of their first child. So the father took time off from work too to do the child care and the never-ending homework.
With the return to work, the photographer started a self-experiment: She watched father and son without interfering. She took pictures of them in their everyday life and documented a period in which the father-child relationship was parti… Mehr anzeigen
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
The goal is to produce a book with an edition of 500 copies. The format of the book is approx. 16 x 23cm, hardcover, approx. 120 pages. The texts will be in German.
The photographs in the book were taken as part of Katharina Fröschl-Roßboth's artistic activity. Accordingly, a high-quality photo book is emphasized to fit in the art book market.
However, the content will be practical and the book should inspire and motivate (expectant) parents.
The production of high quality art books is expensive; correspondingly high are usually the sales prices. The book „Mutter Vaterkarenz Kind” should be affordable for a broad target group (see above).
As with many projects, pre-financing is a major challenge with this book: Without a pre-sale, revenue will only be generated over time. However, the budget for design, layout, printing and binding must be available in advance.
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
Startlevel – 3.400 €: If this level is achieved, the project is "successful". For you this means: the rewards can be distributed!
For us it means: In addition to the basic financing, we do have enough money to realize the project. The graphic designer Mato Vincetić can finalize the design of the book!
The money goes into:
Design and layout of the book “Mutter Vaterkarenz Kind”
Printing and binding of the book in an edition of 500 copies
