In the past thirty years China, and Shanghai in particular, has seen great development — one of the greatest shifts in thousands of years. But one must never forget why he set out. In this large-scale urban reconstruction many things have been lost, to the point that people ask: where did we come from? What are we doing? Where are we going? We need to use artistic methods to connect those disappeared memories of the city, to explore the meaningful tangents in this cultural rift.

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.
