Building on more than a decade of experience with Photobook Week Aarhus, BLIK! will launch in 2025 with a new focus and a global vision.
























The name comes from the Danish word for gaze—a fitting expression of our mission to look closely at photobooks, artist’s books, and other visual art publications. 















With Blik! we aim to bring photobooks into bookstores like never before, showcasing 45 exceptional titles selected by an international jury. Through photography and visual storytelling, these books explore pressing themes—from Climate Change and Technology to Feminism, Travel, and Business.

Bookstores participating in the pilot edition of our festival can browse this list, select titles, and purchase them to display in their stores. The idea is simple: starting on World Photobook Day, October 14, participating bookstores will place these photobooks alongside other non-fiction books—next to titles on Eating Disorders, Travel, Maternity, Sports, and more—so that customers discover them without having to navigate the arts or photography sections.

This project is free, easy, and collaborative. We provide promotion materials, advertising support, and guidance on selecting books to ensure a smooth experience. 

By joining, bookstores help artists and publishers reach a wider audience while giving their customers a chance to engage with photography in unexpected ways.

If you’re a bookstore, we invite you to explore the list below and see which titles you would like to include in your store. Books can be purchased directly from the makers or through your preferred distributor. Join us in this global cultural experiment and bring a new perspective to your shelves.
