ETERNAL SUMMER PRESS – Miss Read

ETERNAL SUMMER PRESS

ETERNAL SUMMER PRESS is a publishing project rooted in two decades of firsthand documentation at world-renowned festivals like Glastonbury and Rock en Seine. Our core philosophy is simple yet profound: "EVERYONE HAS A SUMMER." We capture the fleeting moments of liberation and the "ETERNAL SUMMER" that everyone carries within their hearts.
Our practice uniquely bridges contemporary music culture with traditional craftsmanship. We are preparing a special edition in collaboration with a traditional Korean master bookbinder to weave our 20-year archive into artisanal, handbound volumes. As a proven participant in the global art book scene, we have exhibited at the Taipei Art Book Fair and Asia Book Market (Osaka), consistently achieving near-complete sell-outs. This authenticity was further recognized when we were selected as a winner of the 2025 official Glastonbury Postcard Competition. We invite the Berlin audience to rediscover the "summer" they hold inside through our publications.

LOVE PEOPLE – GLASTONBURY documents the euphoria and chaos found only at Glastonbury—the world's largest music festival, a dreamlike pop-up city that exists for just five days each June, then disappears. Since first setting foot there in 2014, I have returned to the same place five summers in a row.

Relentless rain, tents submerged in mud—yet in that very same place, you dance until dawn and greet the rising sun. I photographed that boundary: the point where everyday life collides with something entirely different, where exhaustion and joy stand side by side.

DAD’S CAMERA

DAD'S CAMER began with the unexpected discovery of a 1984 Minolta film camera tucked away in a closet—the very camera my father once used to capture my childhood, still holding a warmth that time hadn't faded.

France, Greece, the UK, Bali, Thailand—every summer, wherever I wandered, my dad's camera was always by my side. Each time I loaded the film and pressed the shutter, it felt as though I were traveling with him. The warmth of unfamiliar alleyways, the energy of festivals, the sparkle of the sea—preserved gently, one frame at a time.
