Light Exercises for the Spirit brings together photographs made between 2016 and 2025. Rather than being conceived as a single project, the work developed gradually through a number of distinct sequences made over nearly a decade. Moving between family photographs, portraits, landscapes and everyday observations, the book unfolds through association rather than chronology. Images echo across sequences, places, years and emotional states: domestic interiors sit alongside quiet landscapes, moments of intimacy dissolve into absence, and ordinary gestures acquire new significance through their proximity to one another. The book grew out of a need to process the events that shaped these years, and the ways they altered the author's understanding of time, intimacy and home. Approached with quiet curiosity, the photographs became a way of remaining with these experiences without reducing them to a single meaning. Neither memoir nor documentary, the book unfolds through the fragmented logic of memory, where sorrow and hope, closeness and distance, coexist rather than resolve.

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.
