There are cities we visit and cities we think we have visited, that we feel we have always known. Irene Kung photographs monuments rising out of nowhere, dazzling in their own light, stylised with pure lines. They come from different cities and eras, yet all seem to belong to a dream world: the Flatiron Building, Millennium Bridge, Milan’s Duomo and the Colosseum become apparitions of an ideal, invisible city.

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.
