Making mandalas from my photographs showed me how to fit pieces together, & connect through mathematics and observation seemingly unconnected botanical images. More and more I find myself looking at the images made in the beginning of photography, the XIX century to remember the evolution of the world we are living in. Piecing together clues from seemingly various and unconnected points of view that make up our humanity (or lack of it). From then to now there are so many images that exist it seems inconceivable to live without them. And yet, motivated by research, geology and astronomy, there’s an invisible thread that weaves together the seemingly unconnected, filling in the spaces and whispering in the silence a sense of connectivity and continuity with the past in a traditional form of photography and the planet. A lot of the photographs shown here were taken over a long period of time, and I continue to observe. The plants follow a structure that is mathematically palpable and logical for its survival. they are an elegant choreography based on geometry and rhythm.

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.
