Heading West is a critical homage as much as a travel book or the synopsis of a film to come, questioning our fascination with the American West and its clichés, the fruit of an artist residency in Sedona, Arizona, in the summer of 2017. Having already confronted the landscapes of the Great American West on earlier trips and felt the strange sensation of stepping straight into cinematic fiction, the photographer constructs here a thoroughly personal, ultimately very French, American fiction through some fifty photographs and texts that answer one another in a circular fashion, mapping a geography both mental and physical.

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.
