With the increasing desire for adventure and to participate in everything, the urge to own, or at least to touch things, grows. Parallel to these desires the restrictions, such as those found in museums, multiply (general behavior, distance,...). The escape from this situation finally leads the art interested into shopping centers, where touching/contact and acquisition can be realized. At the same time, with the acquired objects, a world identical to the museum opens up, the museum of the present. In this sequence the protagonist stages himself in a subtle erotic scenario in a shopping center in Paris.

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.
