This 22-minute film shows the work of the artists’ coalition AMBruno. Established in 2008, AMBruno facilitates the development and dissemination of the artist’s book as a primary medium in art practice. The initiative was originated and is led by Sophie Loss.

The makeup of the group changes with every new project. A unique feature of this initiative is that books are produced to a set theme for each annual project. The final works may be diverse in form and approach, but all have the thread of the originating topic running through.

Short written proposals for new books to be made in response to the given theme are invited; a specialist in the field makes a selection of about twelve of these. Examples of past themes are: Black Circle, Words, Margins and rhythm.

The completed books are shown at book fairs and exhibitions throughout the year, with books being acquired by institutional collections such as the Tate Library and Archive; National Art Library V&A; Kunstbibliothek, Berlin; and the Library of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
