I WANT ORGASMS, NOT ROSES
2nd edition
Book design for Éva Szombat photographer
Éva Szombat's series, a collection of photography and interviews, were made during the past four years. The photos are about sexuality, trauma, shame, desire, acceptance and rebellion. Thirty women have let the photographer in their intimate space and decided to talk about their innermost personal matters. The result is a 300-page book and an installation. The project, the book, and the installation are influenced by memory books, a transgenerational tradition among schoolgirls in the 20th century.
We are thrilled to announce the biggest honor of the year: the book was published by Kehrer Verlag, the renowned publishing house from Heidelberg.
The second biggest news is that the publication won the photo-book category of Belfast Photo Festival 2023!!
