"Kaddish," conceived as a catalog of humanity, with nearly 1,200 appropriated photos - family snapshots, anonymous portraits, yearbook and photo album images, newspaper photos, images of schoolchildren, soldiers, concentration camp and crime victims, couples. Staggering in scope, with a palpable sense both of loss and of consecration.

Published with the exhibition at Musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris, 1998.

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.
