"I was in search of water and the effect its absence had on me," writes Mark Templeton about his second photobook. From that sense of absence and geographic isolation grew a book of colour photographs made entirely in landlocked Alberta, where the nearest ocean is a thousand kilometres away, and an audio experience, a soundtrack to the book. Rooted in the same longing for the imagined comfort of warm blue water, the two worlds form a mirage, a prism of banal surfaces, spaces and sonic textures. An eight-page supplement collects pairings of sound and image chosen by eight invited artists.

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.
