A mastery of colour and an ability to frame a narrative are on full display: the arcades open to the viewer like a tightly woven short film, almost noir. There is a feeling of criminality within the pictures, as if you had found your way into a speakeasy where acts are taking place, hidden and fringe, celebrated by the lucky few able to give the password to the doorman — and in the midst of it all are the machines themselves, grouped together in colonies of light.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
