Carlos Alba — Photobooks & Artist Publications

Carlos Alba (b. 1984, Madrid) is a visual artist working across photography, video, painting, and installation. His practice is grounded in personal experience — masculinity, vulnerability, fear, and the relationships between human and non-human life in the contemporary world. He uses objects and archives as primary tools, building a body of work that is as much therapeutic investigation as visual document.

Alba's monographs are held in institutional collections including Tate Library and Harvard Library, and his work has been shown internationally at venues such as the Hayward Gallery in London and the Lianzhou Museum of Photography. His publications sit within the broader field of Photobooks and artist publications where autobiography and documentary practice intersect.

At Lokator100, the current title available is I'll Bet the Devil My Head, published through Void Photo. This collection is maintained for readers with a serious interest in contemporary photography publishing and the kind of work that resists easy categorisation — stocked by Lokator100, an independent bookstore based in Germany, because it holds its ground over time.
