Conceived as an artist's book of highly elaborate form, Murmures du paysage is the first work of the Horizon collection. The papers are chosen among the most beautiful, cut by hand and embossed to receive the images as real photographic prints to be consulted as plates; the text is a notebook in large type with loose leaves; and this delicate whole is gathered in a box where cloth and wood mingle. A refined, plant-like case in which to meet in silence Patrick Le Bescont's delicate work on trees, made between Brittany and Korea, where the singular play of transparencies and the quiver are a homage to light and wind. Kenneth White echoes this poetic universe by evoking his own, behind his house in Brittany, the everyday trees, the respect they inspire in him, the contact sought during walks and the music of words that flows from his pen.

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.
