For more than two years Antoine Martin explored the contents of the main online camera directory, insecam.com, focusing on virtual masses — a phenomenon that grew rapidly during the pandemic. In an age of meeting online and of the digitisation of information, the series shows the ubiquity of remote surveillance and the part played by new technologies in liturgical space. Presented in a volume that borrows the look of a missal, the screenshots ask what remains of a rite watched through a fixed camera.

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.
