The form of the book is the one I wanted for the project from the beginning, necessary to organize an oral tradition and its multiple voices in an object with its own materiality, in a physically present trace and document.

In this shape the work has further changed, transforming itself into a narrative flow in which the text represents at the same time a clue and a denial. The words, extracted from different documents and voices, have been reorganized to produce a story that tends to change according to how it is read. Different senses of reading are intertwined, in the text but also in the images, in a continuous operation of concealment and discovery.

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.
