Sophie Thun’s (b. Frankfurt/Main, 1985; lives and works in Vienna and Berlin) self-portraits have charted a distinctive space of representation brimming with antagonistic dynamics and interrogate how the self is constructed in it. Using her own body as an instrument, she questions established forms of female representation. Methods like cutting, splitting, and multiplication and elaborate superimpositions created in the darkroom let the photographer render identity as an ongoing process and malleable. Meanwhile, Thun is consistently present within the frame as the author of her analog photographs: in some, she confidently gazes into the camera, remote shutter in hand; in others, she is represented by her photographic equipment. Between Light and Wall is Sophie Thun’s second book released by DISTANZ. It showcases new works and documents Thun’s first solo museum exhibition at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg. With contributions by Jule Govrin, Daniel Muzyczuk, Marijana Schneider, and Magdalena Vuković and a foreword by Harald Krejci. Sophie Thun’s first monograph came out in 2022.

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.
