„Low Moral“ and „Dreaming Dogs“ are two of Otmar Thormann’s works developed between 1989 and 1990. Whereas he has previously concerned himself exclusively with individual pieces, he has now, for the first time, submitted two series of ten pictures. “Dreaming Dogs” portrays another innovation i.e. each presentation is a combination of two photographs; a large still life and a smaller picture of a sleeping dog. In “Low Moral” Thormann repeatedly assembles a few objects into new patterns on a background of wood and later canvas. Although the objects do not have any form or clear outlines, they do possess a quality which is directed towards a deep-rooted level of consciousness in the observer, who is drawn into the sequence of images.

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.
