Philip Gaißer spent a hot summer in Petömihályfa — a small Hungarian village south of Lake Balaton, where the farmers use overgrown vineyards to cultivate fruit, from which they make Palinka, their potent brand of schnapps. At night the artist took photographs of the dainty fruit as he went past — without looking through the camera viewfinder. The flash of the camera plucks them from the darkness: blue plums, yellow grapes, and velvety peaches thus reveal their true beauty. Gaißer contrasts each image with a page showing a colour gradient corresponding to the colour of the particular fruit. The result is a coming together of a specific natural setting and a moment of photographic reflection.

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.
