About Thomas Block Humery:

Born in Paris in 1971 is a French German artist living and working in Paris. He received a Master of Arts degree from Panthéon-Sorbonne University.

After a decade dedicating his photographic work on young people of Nordic countries and showing his work in Reykjavik, Rovaniemi, Cologne or The Hague, Thomas Block Humery started around 2010 focusing his work on « The Great American Vernacular Encyclopedia ». In this project, he confronts himself to a vast territory  by exploring the map as ordinary and transcendent experience. In his perambulation, he examines the mundanity as an enigmatic source of mystery and poetic revelation, a world both literal and cryptic.

About Alberto Artbooks:

Is an independent publishing platform dedicated to contemporary creation through the artist’s book. Conceived as a space for dialogue between image, material, and narrative, it publishes works that explore hybrid forms of visual storytelling — photography, artworks, archives, text fragments — with each book conceived as a work in itself.

Founded in 2023, Alberto Artbooks marks the beginning of a new editorial era, more personal and rooted in a biographical dynamic shaped by a sensitive relationship to place. Through words, images, and various photographic practices, Alberto Artbooks questions how spaces influence perception — and in return, how subjectivity transforms the environment.

With a refined yet free editorial approach, the platform emphasizes careful aesthetics, limited editions, and close collaborations with artists, photographers, and writers whose work explores gaze, memory, movement, and rootedness.

Alberto Artbooks considers the book as a living, sensory object — one that carries both meaning and silence.
