These colour photographs find their reason for being, through effects of echo and resonance, in a serial reading left for the reader to (re)construct, an imaginary montage feeding the thread of a lost story, a kind of mental road movie. The title plays on a double meaning, at once iconographic (a trolley, "desserte") and spatial (a local service, "desserte"), the images composing so many localities, amorous and geographic, served by the gaze, where a white streak on a girl's pink skirt echoes a black crack in an empty mirror frame and answers, pages later, the white line fleeing down a nocturnal motorway.

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.
