Sometimes, the most interesting time journeys happen by chance. This is what happened to Andrei Loginov, when he heard the story of an abandoned house of a photographer in a Belarusian village. Imagine a village, where life revolves around the collective farm (kolkhoz) and the young generation has moved to the city, in search of a better life. Andrei Loginov, who discovered the photographer’s abandoned house and continued to work photographically with the present-day inhabitants of the village, not only undertook a journey through time himself, but also takes us – the recipients of the project – along. The artist slipped into the role of the village photographer and continued his task. With the means of photography, he looped time: contemporary people are photographed in front of an old photo backdrop as if they were taking the places of those who posed in the 1930-50s.

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.
