KULT BOOKS
Kult Books is an independent publishing project for photography and other lens-based visual arts founded by Janne Riikonen in Stockholm, Sweden. Kult Books publishes monographs and artist books that embrace a personal artistic vision and visual language. The publications are designed in collaboration with the artists, ensuring the physical form of each book enhances the concept and meaning of the work.
KULT STUDIO
In addition to publishing books, Kult Studio also accepts assignments for the design and production of art and photography books, including book design, editing, sequencing, and printing consultation. Ideally, the work is done in close collaboration with the artists to achieve the ultimate outcome. For inquiries, please contact hello@kultbooks.com.
