Norte is the third part of David Hornillos' photographic trilogy on the railway stations of Madrid, after Mediodia, made at Atocha, and Ustedes, los vivos, made at Chamartin. This instalment centres on the Principe Pio station, formerly the northern terminus, and keeps the approach of working within a delimited space and repeating certain visual elements. With a brutalist aesthetic and an emphasis on verticality, represented by crutches, metal structures and asphalt, the work reflects on balance and survival.

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.
