Shortlisted, Dummy Award 2026

Photobook dummy by Sushant Kadam (India), shortlisted for the Dummy Award 2026. The book is a meditation on urban coexistence and on the subtle ways in which environments shape us all. It explores the metropolis as a mosaic, highlighting how its disparate pieces contribute to a complex, collective identity. The cover is white with the title in heavy black capitals, over a translucent green sheet through which a pale silhouette can be seen. The Dummy Award, organised by the PhotoBookMuseum in Cologne, shortlisted 48 unpublished dummies from about 325 entries from more than 45 countries; the shortlist travels on a world tour of photography events and venues.

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.
