An action for house lights performed by Alice Guareschi on a single occasion, for a select audience, at the Olympia Music Hall, the legendary Parisian venue, on April 12th, 2012. The 16 photographs of the series were shot the same day, right after the live activation of the light choreography in the empty auditorium, involving all thirteen coloured lighting channels permanently integrated into the architecture. With a fixed, similar but not identical framing and following the original lighting score composed by the artist, they present a sequence of different movements of lights. By breaking the duration of the action into photograms that can be viewed separately or all together, the spatial arrangement of the work makes it possible to embrace the overall idea at a glance. Made on the occasion of the exhibition at the MAN, Museo d'Arte Provincia di Nuoro (14 July to 17 September 2023); project promoted by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture under PAC2021.

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.
