Part two in an ongoing series of zines published by Dashwood in which Ahlbom sequences out-of-this-world landscapes with overly saturated portraits of friends met on her travels. Both trial and error are required throughout her process, which uses tinted flashes while shooting and casts acid-trip colours over her prints in the darkroom. She structures the arrangement through hues, patterns and humour: Joe Skilton in London Fields, with hair like David Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth, is juxtaposed with surrealist totems to masculinity in an Italian barbershop, and Ahlbom also takes part as a subject for the first time, in a self-portrait with a silver Mustang guitar, paired with Joe Apollonio skateboarding topless on a hot summer day in New York.

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.
