In the spring of 2023, Miron Zownir sets out to document the harsh realities of life in Canada’s urban centres. His photographic journey takes him over 7,000 kilometres, from Montreal on the east coast to the western shores of Vancouver, passing through the cities of Lethbridge and Winnipeg along the way. Zownir illuminates social challenges facing Canada’s larger cities, revealing the destructive effects of the fentanyl crisis in Vancouver and the deep socio-economic divides, particularly between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations in Winnipeg, one of the country’s most economically challenged cities.

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.
