The first monograph by the Italian photographer Marco Pietracupa, a journey through mostly unpublished archive material that presents his shots through unexpected combinations, with the collaboration of Virginia Devoto. Three themes run through it: the forest as a human habitat and a forest of faces and bodies, human constellations and animals laid bare, skin in its many facets; and, alongside them, cool and almost disturbing portraits of technical material. A circle of images that begins and ends with the organic representation of nature, even when it is an artificial nature.

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.
