Dearest Joseph (2019 — 2021) is an epistolary tale set in Venice. A dialogue between two languages – photography and prose – and a third interlocutor: Joseph Brodsky. It is a story that unfolds after the end of a relationship, when love endures nonetheless. A time of emotional mourning. The after is never clearly defined; its edges remain uncertain, malleable — stretch marks of the soul. A year lasts a day; four seasons become four years, four journeys. Twenty-four hours.

ABOUT

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.
