The Odessa Photographies collective (Benjamin Bechet, Polo Garat, Vincent Lacotte, Marion Lefebvre, Jérôme Navarre) invents an alphabet, sets it in pictures and invites five authors to take up the same words and dialogue with the photographs that correspond to them. The alphabet is devised like an exquisite corpse and then deconstructed, the better to trace the itinerary of a poetic, singular stroll. This picture book was built from words themselves defined from the images: Abandon, Babylone, Chaos, Désert, Éden, Fureur, Grâce, Home, Illusion, Jouer, K.-O., Luxe, Monotone, Neige, Obsession, Passage, Question, Rituel, Soif, Toison, Unique, Vierge, Whaouh, X, Yvette, Zarma. Texts by Magyd Cherfi, Marie Didier, Jean-Hubert Gailliot, Francis Ricard and Olivia Rosenthal.

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.
