The book form of a performance by Thomas Mailaender in which he applied original negatives from the Archive of Modern Conflict's collection to the skin of models and projected a powerful UV lamp over them, revealing a fleeting image on the skin's surface. Mailaender photographed each model before exposure to daylight made the images disappear. The book comprises the resulting shots interspersed with archival images from the AMC collection.

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.
