Abstract

Silent Book and Sí por Cuba are paradigmatic examples of photobooks. Their properties are explored in this article based on intermedial studies and on C.S. Peirce’s semiotic. We observe two process as principal characteristics of the intermedial relations in those works: the material aspects of book working as signs of the photos and of the relationship between the photos; and the position of the photos on the pages working in the semiotic relation between the photos and their objects.
