At the centre of this new body of images is a reflection on identity transformations and liminal conditions.

The photographer worked on the borders of Europe where thousands of people seek the possibility of a new life; he made portraits during therapeutic hypnosis sessions; he participated in some rituals of possession that take place in the countries around the Gulf of Guinea.

The pictures included in this book alternate a social approach with an introspective one, working together to build a timeless narrative.

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.
