Text by Heinz Janisch

The close working relationship between the artist Robert F. Hammerstiel, the author Heinz Janisch and the residents of the Caritas home for the disabled CMB-Heim St. Pius / Peuerbach in Upper Austria (2000-2009) began in 2000 with the work entitled Eulogy to Things. The participants of the photography group, all of whom had multiple disabilities, were asked to photograph objects from their everyday lives. These photographic notes were complemented by written descriptions such as: There is sunshine in the forest - The tree is loud in the wind - The chair is comforting … The group worked together for many years, establishing a level of trust and cohesion that allowed its participants to work with various media - photography, video and text. Robert F.

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.
