Research, reflections, attraction, fear and obsession. A constant doubting and questioning. This has always been my relationship with identity. How is nowadays an identity built? How do social and personal paths connect to each other in this process? Water Dreams of Itself is a book about these questions and it is an attempt to define and build a social and personal identity. The book is divided into four distinct and interconnected paragraphs, “Waithood”, “Bi”, “Boys Will Be Boys”, “Liquido” and it tries to define this identity exploration through an intersectional analysis which takes into account four kind of identity: generational identity, sexual identity, gender identity and individual identity. The result leads us to a reflection on what it means being contemporary in today’s world. A series of evocative and dream-like images with the aim of raising questions and provoking contemplation rather than giving simple responses.

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.

We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days.
