I met Édith Thoueille, a childcare nurse running the Service d'Aide à la Parentalité des Personnes Handicapées in Paris, who for twenty years has done exceptional work with blind women wishing to become mothers, fighting prejudice and encouraging them to take the step; this encounter was decisive, as I saw and photographed Édith accompanying a young blind mother and her baby, and then the others, observing with admiration how precisely and rightly these women handled their children. I tried to imagine, closing my eyes naively, to see what they do not see, without success, realising instead that they saw what I did not, and it seemed absurd to try to compare or find a difference.

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.
