Arranged in series, these new photographs share a singular context that reveals the strangeness of the world the artist chooses to show, each image methodically dismantling its surrounding universe. Combat, competition, greed and consumption recur as themes, their human activity disembodied under the spectre of existential emptiness, as she explores her favourite subject, the world of games, through racing punters, cockfights, video games or wrestlers caught in an almost minimalist sequence, abandoned-looking bodies on the ground, bruised and oddly posed, like brightly lit sleepers that no light can wake.

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.
