The debut by Zuzana Pustaiová is an ironic commentary on the social norms that shape daily life. Routine, gender stereotypes and role-play — shown literally as the wearing of masks — are examples of a cultural code that binds a society together while imposing pressure on the individual. Working with very bright colours and constructed images that borrow the language of advertising, the artist asks where the boundary lies between a norm that holds people together and one that constrains them, and how the individual feels inside a world of recommendations and restrictions learned from early childhood.

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.
