"Since 2007 I have travelled across Tibet many times and in every season. On each journey I have noted many changes in the territory: roads and motorways increasingly cut up the landscapes of the great plateaus. I often thought these changes would serve the Tibetans. They do not: no infrastructure is meant to serve the small towns and camps. Chinese colonisation is ever more obvious in Lhasa, the holy city. This policy comes with the destruction of Tibetan housing, replaced by homes built for the Chinese, and also tends toward the sedentarisation of the nomads of the high plateaus, with the corollary of building new towns." […] Jacques Borgetto.

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.
