A photobook published twenty years after Mandara Zukan (1988), in which scenes from some twenty years of days are strung together like illusions. Landscapes, street scenes and portraits mix with adult images, among them women in bondage gear and one sexually explicit picture, and no single subject dominates; the editing lets each photograph stand on its own while still forming a subtle overall sequence. In the words of the photographer, those days must have existed, but they seem like a vision: it appears that eternity was never being photographed, only illusions. The sequel, Walk while ye have the light (2011), completes a two-part work.

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.
