Imagine! The sun is shining, the weather hot. It’s a beautiful, almost perfect day! You drive for hours along endless roads surrounded by rich forests, past affluent looking farms, quaint villages and even cities. Everywhere is peace and quiet. But then you notice the emptiness – no animals in the fields, no children playing, no-one anywhere. Everyone has gone – removed by government decree – to escape an invisible yet deadly presence. This is the exclusion zone around Chernobyl – a thirty kilometre area surrounding the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident. This is Legacy – a chilling and unforgettable reminder of our nuclear heritage and of the environmental and human tragedy that hit the Ukraine fifteen years ago in April 1986 and affected large parts of Europe.

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.
