These live performances will also be projected to the audience at C/O Berlin.
The jurors are allowed to perform the chosen book in any fashion they desire [music, speech, silence...], as long as it reveals the sentiments they experienced with their favorite self-published book. Be a part of this experiment with us, as the jurors take photo books to the next level!
