Light Also Travels brings together a selection of photographs from an ongoing body of work made in Puerto Rico and the Northeast US. Genesis Báez was born in Massachusetts to Puerto Rican parents who had migrated there in the 1980s. She photographs landscapes, constructs still lifes and enacts gestures with women from her family or with women who remind her of them, to trace the invisible threads that connect people and places otherwise separated by time and distance: the light that carves a portal in Massachusetts is the same light bouncing off a mirror shard in Puerto Rico. The images reflect on how people relate to place, history, imagination and community in the dispersion of diasporic life, and on how belonging may be conjured from fragments.

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.
