This bed of greenery does not suggest abandonment but expectation, a vegetal buffer overlooking a vast interchange ringed by towers, against which the historic axis of western Paris broke off. On this stretch of motorway returned to a wild state, Cyrille Weiner reads a force of destruction and renewal: sap pressure cracking the asphalt, shifting sand destroying retaining walls, plants gripping the motorway parapets, all communicating, overflowing and unfolding on infrastructure shaped to human scale. The wasteland, with its tangle of plants, converts the territory into a free zone open to many uses, where a few men reclaim their time, energy and imagination, observed here in a reality filtered into an end-of-world, paradise-lost fiction.

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.
