Text by Gerald Matt

"The whole world is a picture", writes Austrian photographer Paul Albert Leitner in the first line of this "novel" in photographs. A remarkable grab bag of images - from bucolic nature to a discarded Christmas tree, construction debris to the creamy thighs of a female nude, slick fashion shots to gritty urban scenes - come together to describe the artist’s world.Gerald Matt writes: "An old lady observes. A monkey copulates. They are happy in Berlin ... In Paris they meet Santa Claus who gives them his garter belt. The Daiquiri tastes like a glacier and they cite Hemingway in Havana."

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.
