Tagadà is a coming of age project started in 2014 and shot around summer fun fairs all over Italy.

Tagadà is the most fun of all rides at the funfair. Big scary rides find no place in the local funfairs of the Italian countryside, so Tagadà is the ultimate challenge. It's the big monster at the end of a videogame. It's fear and laughter at the same time. A split second of madness. Body first and mind to follow, both getting out of control. Tagadà makes you bounce, it makes your head spin. Eyes become so heavy you must squint them. One shouldn't drink much before getting on the Tagadà, but obviously everyone drinks way too much before getting on the Tagadà. Things no longer look as they are. Welcome to your teenage years.

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.
