Photographs taken in London between 2008 and 2010 as black-and-white reversal transparencies show the city in twilight, a shadowy place of subway silence reminiscent of Eraserhead, trying unsuccessfully to throw light into the dark corners where people might hide. Printed on tracing paper, the images allow occasional splashes of illumination as patches of spray paint burn through from the page behind; the locations are given in an index, though some images are little more than geometric lines.

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.
