Sarah Kastrau – Miss Read

Sarah Kastrau

I've been self-publishing zines shot analogue material since 2013 and am currently enrolled at FH Dortmund to obtain my master's degree in photography. Up until 2020 my practise was solely analogue, however during my bachelor project I became interested into possibilities of merging photo books and technology. Right now "design fiction" and "post-photography" are the best description of what I do.

The Cybook (cyborg + book) is an experimental digital photo book build around a Raspberry Pi Zero and 3D printing. Version V03 contains a previously unpublished photo series from Tokyo. The order of the photos is random, with the slideshow being controlled by a rotary knob. By pressing the knob the user can generate a new, randomized series. This way, every user gets to see a different version of Tokyo.
