Independent Books: Art, Theory & Experimental Literature

Lokator100 is an independent bookstore based in Germany. This catalogue covers independent books selected across art, critical theory, photography, and experimental literature — titles that resist easy categorisation and reward sustained attention.

Nothing here is chosen for commercial velocity. Each title enters the catalogue because it holds its ground over time — as an object, as an argument, as a document. The selection favours work from independent publishers, artists, and writers whose output sits outside mainstream distribution: rare art books, limited editions, signed copies, and texts that continue to matter past their publication date.

The catalogue is organised into specific areas. Photography & Photobooks and Artbooks & Artist Publications form the core — monographs, artist books, and independently produced visual publications. Critical Theory & Philosophy covers essential and hard-to-find texts in philosophy, cultural criticism, and radical thought. Surreal & Experimental Comics brings together work from artists operating at the edge of the form. The catalogue also extends into Film Books & Film Culture and Music Books & Sound Culture, covering visual culture, sound art, and the critical literature surrounding both.

Every listing includes accurate bibliographic documentation and a clear statement of condition. Orders are packed carefully and dispatched from Germany with tracking. The aim is a low-risk transaction for buyers who know what they are looking for.
