Continuing the move towards abstraction begun in her previous publication A Trilogy, Jessica Backhaus works here with analogue photographic means alone. Sheets of cut translucent paper react to the heat of intense sunlight: they buckle, rise and cast shadows. Having arranged and staged the compositions, the artist becomes an astonished observer of processes she can only partly control, and the recorder of a visual experiment — a poetic choreography of intense colour in sunlight.

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.
