Danielle Neu's debut monograph brings together photographs taken over the past seven years: fish and other life forms in aquariums and cages; portraits of actors, performers and artists, and fragments of their naked bodies; deserted interiors, among them a reconstruction of the bedroom from 2001: A Space Odyssey and Elvis Presley's airplane, the Lisa Marie, whose surfaces are covered by a protective layer of plastic. Each image engages with postwar American cultural landscapes and discourses, particularly those of Hollywood, where the desire for fiction manifests within reality itself. The photographs establish a recurrent dissociation between place and corporeality: a Las Vegas club of lacquered walls, neon lights and velvet seats, television screens reflected in a myriad of surfaces, a space of false depth devoid of human presence.

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.
