Lullaby and last goodbye is an autobiographical photobook that, through the use of archive and original images, deals with the themes of mourning, the reworking of mourning through photographic research and the relationship between fathers and sons. As I look at the photographs taken by my father and revisit the places of my childhood hidden in my memory, I regain awareness of my relationship with my parents, our life and how my childhood was not as glossy and limpid as the one described in them, but full of cracks. When my daughters were born, I turned my focus to my family and understood my father’s desire, indeed his need, to preserve the memory of those moments, to make them live forever. So I started photographing them daily, rediscovering with them the magical purity of childhood.

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.
