This December we had the exciting opportunity to manage the Magnum Photos booth at the 2025 Tokyo Art Book Fair (TABF) — one of the most anticipated art publishing events of the year. The fair took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, drawing in art enthusiasts, photographers and collectors from around the world.
Aflo x Magnum Photos: Highlights
Aflo operated the Magnum Photos stand throughout the weekend, featuring:
- An exclusive selection of Magnum signed and rare photo books
- Prints and merchandise showcasing the legendary collective’s work
- A curated display of zines, postcards, and prints from the Aflo Gallery artists
The booth offered visitors a chance to discover iconic photography from Magnum alongside emerging visual voices from Aflo Gallery. A unique blend of global and local photographic culture.
One of the best aspects of the weekend was the opportunity to connect directly with art lovers, collectors, and visitors who stopped by the booth. It was truly inspiring to meet people passionate about photography books, zines, and visual culture.
Visitors responded positively to the mix of historic and contemporary photography, with many discovering new favorites and engaging deeply with the artistic prints and zines on display. This fusion of established icons and emerging talent perfectly reflected TABF’s mission to support diverse publishing voices and creative expression.
