Co-published with Cent pages

Loss, love and family: the French artist explores major subjects that touch our daily lives by shaking standard patterns and beliefs. Here she focuses on the matrimonial classified ads published in different media between 1895 and 2019, collected by the artist and sorted by decade, women’s ads looking for men and the reverse, a mirror of how expectations of a partner changed over a century.

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.
