Published for the exhibition at the Castello Carlo V, Lecce, 6 July - 15 September 2024

The catalogue of the exhibition held in the bastions of the Castello Carlo V in Lecce, edited by Flavia Parisi and Alice Caracciolo and printed in a run of a hundred and sixty copies. Homo ludens — the playing human of Johan Huizinga's title — names the side of Cresci's practice in which the rule, the game and the invented protocol are the way the work is made: something is set up, a constraint is accepted, and the picture is what comes out of playing it through.

ABOUT

The project

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.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
