The Skeptics explores UFO counterculture through the lens of contemporary photography and visual archives. Drawing on the phenomenon of the “Canary Islands sightings” and the skeptical practices of scientific ufology, the book examines how images shape, circulate, and transform the collective imagination. Bringing together photographs, stills from 16mm films, and archival documents, it blurs the boundaries between art, science, and popular culture. Essays by Gil Bartholeyns and Michel Poivert positions the project within contemporary debates on visual belief, the making of myths, and documentary practices.

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.
