White noise can be described as a sound heard as a light hiss, similar to the sound of wind rustling through trees or a waterfall, for example...

In practice, however, white noise doesn't exist: it's a theoretical idealization, and in this case, the book's blank pages become a pretext to pay homage to the way the inhabitants of the Emilian Apennines experience and experience the mountains.

It's a meditation on the silence of the landscape, but also the suggestion of the mountain as escape, the mountain as return, but above all, the mountain as home.

In this complex work of photography and writing, faces appear and disappear, and stories are passed down from mouth to mouth, often becoming legends.

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.
