It is often on Sundays that children and parents play together, and so the series Les photos du dimanche was born; these images reveal the innocence of games and the mystery of childhood attitudes, as well as a dizzying mise en abyme of nature, of life and, sometimes, even death. A tinge of strangeness touches these photographs, perhaps because of the costumes and clothing elements that turn a little girl into a princess or a fairy, a fish into a sceptre, stones into treasure; Isabelle Vaillant looks at her subjects, her models, with joyful complicity, as they become co-creators of their own staged images and bodies as much as the artist, before surrendering fully to the photographer's trust.

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.
