Jetty traces a journey between sites of two works by Robert Smithson, The Monuments of Passaic and The Spiral Jetty. Beginning on the Passaic River in New Jersey and ending at the Great Salt Lake, Utah, Jetty maps a route across the USA that echoes the shape of The Spiral Jetty. From the journey, 47 silver gelatine photographs are presented in the order of their exposure. Various references to Smithson’s oeuvre may be found in the images. Jetty also contains a map painting, colour photographs made close to the beginning and end of the journey and an essay by Smithson scholar, Timothy D Martin.

ABOUT

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.
