For two decades, Austrian-born photographer Günther Selichar has pursued parallel careers as artist and historian, using his theoretical skills to step back from his work. Selichar creates a visual dialogue by emphasizing issues of boundaries: a place where photography and painting overlap, where populism and elitism meet. Selichar´s color photographs focus on constructive principles as well as the political, sociological and psychological issues brought to bear by mass media images. An insightful look in to the artist´s alternative vision and manipulation of the photographic medium. "I don´t see myself as a photographer, but rather as someone who uses mainly the medium of photography, but at the same level alongside other media", says Selichar.

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.

We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days.
