This body, charged with movement and the promise of release, possesses the opalescence of glass, translucent and diaphanous, a new path opening from the observation of the body desired through dance to understand what distinguishes the sculpted from the photographed. Henri Foucault sets his models within a seriality that builds an infinite combinatory of positions, gesture and physical performance tending toward abstraction, complicating the direct reproduction allowed by the Polaroid with colour filters, a floor mirror and doubled models, stylising and tangling the contours of bodies to suggest an illusion of relief.

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.
