In FLOH Tacita Dean has gathered photographs she found at flea markets in Europe and the USA. Portraits, holiday pictures, snapshots of the special and the banal, she took them in and brought them to new life. The calm of the flea market is still in them, the calm of the moment when they were found, the calm of the lost object. At a certain point Tacita Dean had to end her rummaging at the flea markets: she feared that she would always find new pictures that “belonged in the book”, until she realised that there would be no closed collection and never could be. FLOH exists in boundlessness and will one day return to the place from which the book started: the flea market.

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.
