This survey traces photography's role across an entire career, from early European travel snapshots through the deadpan artist's books of the 1960s and 70s to later large-format work, reproducing the vernacular subjects the camera was pointed at along the way -- storefronts, product still lifes, parking lots, swimming pools -- alongside an extended conversation in which the artist discusses how a supposedly neutral, documentary tool became the engine of a decades-long conceptual practice.

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.
