Whispering with elves, trolls, and hidden-folks is a series of fifty photographs taken in Iceland between 2011 and 2012, during a year as an artist in residence granted by the POLA Art Foundation. Iceland is a country of unique culture amid powerful weather and extraordinary nature — geothermal activity, glacier-cut fjords, lava fields and hot springs — and a mystical place where the photographer felt spellbound by the mythical beings believed to dwell in nature. The images were made not with multiple exposures or digital processing but with a pinhole camera, each captured in a single, unmistakable opening of the shutter, an attempt to prove the unseen through optical means.

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.
