Published to accompany a solo exhibition at Huis Marseille, Amsterdam

Drawing, painting, sculpture and photography are brought together into a single image within this practice. In the exploration of the possibilities of perception, the hand remains deliberately visible: a photographic diorama emerges in which the movement of organic life is central, and which, through the fusion of different techniques and perspectives, challenges the viewer's perception. 'Rather than an object, a plant occurs to me as a moving space, as a parallel universe. They make me aware of a different time flow. Besides this, their presence is silent.'

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.
