Book Look 25

To “cross borders” means to step beyond limits—geographical or mental. To look further, to explore the unknown, and to find oneself changed—more open, curious, creative. For Associazione Obliquo, whose very name carries the seed of movement and intersection, crossing borders is natural, almost programmatic. That’s why the 2025 edition of Book Look, the art book fair dedicated to visual publishing, is devoted to the theme of crossing borders: a concept that conveys both multidisciplinarity and the breadth of the geographical scope involved. Talks, lectures, workshops, screenings, and live performances turn Book Look into an increasingly multifaceted cultural space, weaving together the many languages of contemporaneity—from graphic design to photography, from design to illustration, from cinema to music, all the way to contemporary art. Crossing geographical boundaries, for the first time, will be the international publishers, joining their Italian counterparts at “Libri da guardare” (Books to Look At), the historic centerpiece of Book Look.

We’re thrilled to be part of this year’s edition, showcasing our publications in such an inspiring and dynamic setting—surrounded by some of the most interesting names in independent visual publishing, including Bored Wolves (Poland), Oaza Books (Croatia), Palais Books (France), Reading Room (Italy), RVB Books (France), Set Margins’ Publications (Netherlands), Sigaretten (Italy), studiofaganel (Italy), Viaindustriae (Italy), and Void (Greece).

We invite you to explore the full program of this multi-dimensional weekend event—an immersive journey through the many forms and languages of contemporary visual culture. Access the program here.
