I do not know — 我 不 知道 (Limited Edition)
Text by Alessandro Digaetano
Design by 89books

I do not know, 我 不 知道, (pronounced Wǒ bù zhīdào ) , is the first complete sentence I learned in Chinese. And every time people ask me ‘What is going on in China?’ I always respond using that sentence: Wǒ bù zhīdào, I don’t know! China is so vast and it changes at such high speed, I have never been able to define the country. Wǒ bù zhīdào is the name of my photographic project started in the spring of 2011. It explores the changes of the country where I lived from 2002-2008 and I have been shooting for some months in 2009, 2012 and 2014.

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.
