In 2020, Federico Possati moved back to Milan after living in New York for eight years. It felt like a transformative life cycle had ended and another had begun. This book explores the necessity of giving meaning to an ever-growing pile of images, an obsessive catalogue of small vignettes found in everyday life. Using the structure of an uncommon diary, images and text combine in a narrative that continues throughout its pages. The book is divided into twelve chapters, but unlike a diary, each chapter recalls a month selected from a different year. The result is a collection of memories, events, and instances that intermingle and coexist — a multifaceted snapshot of twelve years in a life.

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.
