This duo book brings together the works of Bernard Plossu and Marcelo Fuentes, highlighting their shared interest in landscapes and cities and their similar artistic approach. "Bringing together the works of Plossu and Fuentes allows us to highlight certain questions, such as the distance between act and work in each medium, the unequal perception of time in painting and photography. John Berger wrote that, from the moment the photographic image is produced instantaneously by light, the figuration is imbued with neither experience nor consciousness; the photographer, it is true, chooses the subject, but the relation between the image and its representation is immediate, it is not constructed, unlike that established by the painter, whose work contains the time spent making it." Salvador Albiñana. Besides their shared interest in painting and the camera, Plossu and Fuentes are both travelling artists who prefer to work in smaller formats; the exhibition makes it possible to explore the relation between action and work in the two media and the differentiated perception of time between painting and the image.

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.

We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days.
