Sixty-eight times a window ... not wall hole and house detail. Infinitely many things are in their own way a window. The window as an object is only the occasion for thought for a collection of image-synonyms. Their theme is the constellation of the moment, the situation “at the window”. We look away and stay here. For these pictures and for the concept a new word: WindAuge, an artificial word repatriated into German from “window”. In “window” are the words for wind and eye: wind and ow. Windows separate and connect. No life without seeing, no life without windows. The window gives us the freedom of the gaze, of fantasy, of thought.

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.
