High standard hotels have different categories of rooms. Business people who travel regularly usually live in a four star hotel (in the business class.). In continuing short stays, a love-hate relationship develops with this seemingly perfect world in which the business people always have to subordinate themselves. When nobody is looking, an uncontrollable urge leads to compulsory actions. A sort of deconstructivism breaks out. The obsession starts with stealing soap, towels and the bath robe and takes on more extreme forms, like dismantling and taking bulky things like the telephone, bedding, lamps and more. Through this growing and extremely neurotic behavior the business man becomes a thief.

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.
