How does one look at photographs while witnessing a genocide? The work is an insight into ongoing conversations around a set of pictures made in Palestine between 1921 and 1923, which their photographer labelled "Des Choses Intéressantes" — interesting things. Salome Erni handles the negatives herself, reciting a voice-over in front of the camera, and lets the question of who looks, and from where, run through the material as it exists today: photographs in exile, close at hand. Shortlisted for the Dummy Award 2026.

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.
