Visual reconstructions that, like a distant echo, cast the fading memory of the sublime peak, the rustic mountain village, the overwhelming rock face dimly onto the wall. Sculpture as a process of image making. Roos van Haaften's works seem to be descendants of Arte Povera, which seek to rebuild a sinking world via the reuse of the cheapest material. With luminous windows behind which we glimpse our own soulscapes, while at the same time we perceive the artist's mastery of craftsmanship and her transparent shadow play. In her works, she addresses the illusion that photography creates: on the one hand, its ability to designate a concrete place at a specific time, its capacity to both inform and emotionally touch. On the other hand, her projections lead us inward, to where all images originate.

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.
