Lokator100 Essentials

A rotating introduction to Lokator100, with representative books from photography, art, comics, film, underground music and critical thought.

What Lokator100 Essentials Is

Lokator100 Essentials is a manually assembled group of titles drawn from across the full range of the catalogue. It is not a ranking of bestsellers. The selection is intended to give first-time visitors a clear point of entry into what Lokator100 stocks and how the shop thinks — without reducing that to a single category or format.

What the Selection Covers

The collection draws from each of the areas the shop maintains: photobooks, artists' publications, experimental comics, film books, printed documents of underground music, and critical writing. Current titles include work by Michael Lundgren, Julia Soboleva, Shintaro Kago, Ari Aster, and Robin Mackay, alongside a visual survey of noise graphics from the 1980s and 1990s. These sit together not because they share a theme, but because each represents a distinct part of what the catalogue holds.

How the Selection Works

The selection is updated as titles sell out and new books enter the catalogue. It is not fixed. The intention is that it remains representative rather than exhaustive — a cross-section that reflects the current state of the shop rather than a permanent list.

Who This Collection Is For

Lokator100 Essentials is most useful for readers who are new to the shop and want a grounded sense of its scope before moving into specific categories or authors. It is also a practical starting point for anyone whose interests span more than one of the areas Lokator100 covers.
