"There is the instant retained by photography, but there is also the image that appears instantly, which we owe to the Polaroid, the instant camera. The photographer chose to dedicate this process to the pictures he makes of his daughter, no doubt because it has something magical, hence playful, and amplifies the pleasure of the shared moment. […] And the book that is born of this set of shots takes on the dimension of a work as it acquires its autonomy. The object frees itself in a way from the author and from the protagonists of the story told: the picture is no longer looked at only for its link with particular beings, circumstances and places. It also speaks to us of childhood in general. It is then for the viewer to take over this story, to identify with the father or his daughter, to let themselves be won over by the tenderness and fragility of this world." Gabriel Bauret.

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.
