A cassette and photobook by Rev. LV, edited and assembled by Mark Templeton. In 2019 an unmarked box was found containing 35mm slides and a series of cassette tapes: spoken reflections, fragments of hymns and long passages of piano tape loops, somewhere between devotional practice and private sound study. With them was a red binder of colour slides of unknown subjects, at once intimate and estranged. The cassettes have been digitised and lightly restored, and the book gathers selections of the photographs, printed in risograph to echo their fading hues — part archival, part interpretive, a document that blurs devotion, memory and listening.

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.
