I was happy to learn that The End of the World is shortlisted for the Photo-Text Award at Les Rencontres d’Arles. This aims to reward the best book in which photographs and words contribute equally to the work. The preliminary jury of the 2026 Book Awards was composed of Basile Le Cleac’h (Director of the Atelier du Palais), Ana Gallart de Mora (Head of BAL Books), and Emilie Pautus (Founder of the independent bookstore Les Grandes Largeurs).

The shortlisted books will be on display throughout the festival at La Mécanique Générale. See the full shortlist for all three categories of the Awards here. The final jury will meet at the festival’s opening, and the winning publications in the three categories will be announced on the evening of Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at the Théâtre Antique in Arles.

The book was also recently a staff pick at Printed Matter, where they have it in stock. Ordering from me and shipping to the US is also possible again in a relatively normal way.
