List of photobooks by photographer Bendiksen, Jonas

Jonas Bendiksen is a Norwegian photographer, a member of the Magnum Photos agency since 2004 (« Full member » in 2008).

Bendiksen works on long-term projects and gives an important place to the photobook form in his work, usually publishing a photobook at the end of each project.

Among his important publications are "Satellites - Photographs from the Fringes of the former Soviet Union" (Aperture, 2006) after a 3-year stay in several separatist republics from the former USSR; "The Places We Live" (Aperture, 2008) where he documents the life of populations in slums in several countries (Venezuela, Kenya, India, Indonesia, etc.), "The Last Testament" (Aperture, 2017) about several people - again in different countries - who pretend to be the second-coming of Jesus, and finally "The Book of Veles" (GOST, 2021) which made a loud bang as Bendiksen revealed - after garnering numerous accolades and awards, including at the important "Visa pour l'Image" festival in Perpignan, France - that all the images of the project had been created with a software tool used in the CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) cinema industry, when the subject of the book is about the creation and propagation of "fake news".
