Returning from Amiens after visiting the Musée de Picardie, where Stéphanie Mansy had made wall drawings during the museum's renovation, the author recalls the opening line of Alain Resnais's film, "You saw nothing in Hiroshima". Half in jest, because she had indeed seen nothing: at the places the artist pointed out, the walls were smooth and uniformly painted, with no trace of the drawings, surging forms, flows of lines, coloured cracks, pasted papers, suspended tracing papers and installations she had seen in photographs. The walls were empty, which was rather desolating, yet she made her own the answer of Emmanuelle Riva in the film, "I saw everything. Everything." From this void and absence she brought back an image, images, with the impression of seeing through the walls: there was nothing left to see, there was everything to see.

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.
