Growing egocentricity calls for more and more space, if possible in different places. A fantasy of omnipotence in which the protagonist uses the space for himself and tries to have control of it is created. These rooms are normally used by the public. In this sequence, however, the protagonist occupies and personalizes these rooms with his appearance and his clothes, as if he lived there all alone. The use of the whole room becomes natural. The sequence shows the process of the total acquisition of the room. In his exaggerated aesthetic enthusiasm the person playing tennis by himself becomes tragic and comic at once.

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.
