Six photographers, six notebooks, six perspectives: Dominique Journet Ramel, Emma Rose, Huynh Nguyen, Prune Paycha, Philippe Evenou and Isabelle Rivière. The third edition of the Punctum series focuses on the fateful threshold between our inner and outer worlds. Six people walk the tightrope between past, present and future, real and imaginary, each expressing a vision of the world through the prism of their own perception. Emma Rose transforms everyday life into dreams of a childhood spent in dance and music, peopled by poets, romance and reverie; Huynh Nguyen, of Cambodian origin, reproduces her colourful childhood in the tropics, confronted with her recent discovery of Vietnam, a vaguely familiar land told through her family's story; Philippe Evenou's night walks through his Parisian neighbourhood and other cities carry us into a David Lynch-like universe of enigmatic characters reciting strange night tales; Prune Paycha's family album reveals a melancholic journey through the family home and garden, where images of flowers mix with those of the women of her family and become metaphors of the cycle of life and passing time; Dominique Journet Ramel's elegantly staged portraits of redheads read as an autobiographical manifesto; and the Slavic feeling of nostalgia is perceived through Isabelle Rivière's images of the old quarter of Warsaw, frozen in time and miraculously spared by the war.

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.
