Explores the cultural, social, and historical potential of the medium through the lens of a homeland, offering a rarely seen insider perspective on Arctic environments and portraying everyday life with images that are both raw and poetic. The practice merges the traditional with the contemporary, weaving personal narratives together with broader reflections on history, identity, and daily existence. With an intuitive working approach and without staging scenes, viewers are granted access to a homeland seen from within: compelling portraits, depictions of daily life, and sweeping landscapes map what it means to live at the intersection of ancestral tradition, colonial heritage, the climate crisis, and the pressures of globalization. Analogue methods are often used, with cameras given by friends and family, combining personal images with found material and archives; sequencing and pauses unfold the narratives, structured like a book in seven chapters.

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.
