Drittel Books is a Berlin-based, independent publisher of photography books, founded in 2013 by Andreas Gehrke. Drittel does not simply publish collections of “good photographs”, preferring instead to publish bodies or series of work that explore ideas in a deeper way. Its publications are representative of its belief in photography as a medium to reflect and influence our culture and society. The name Drittel, which is German for “one third,” is inspired by the belief that no art—or artist—can truly exist alone. The creativity, production and consumption surrounding an artwork is always split, or shared, into separate processes. Books need, at the ver y least, three people: an artist, a publisher and a reader.
