Replika Editions are a three dimensional exhibition in a box in which, artists, writers, musicians and creators of all descriptions are invited to explore a given theme, and to respond with an object-based, serialised work. As each piece is replicated manually, each of the 10 boxes vary slightly and are a unique collectable. The box is accompanied by a book, in which each work is photographed and itemised along with an accompanying text from the artist, alongside other text-based submissions and contributions from the curators. Issue II: Ellipse. As in a game of telephone, Ellipse is about passing information through a fragmented loop resulting in the loss of structure, grammar and sense altogether. Human relationships, in particular familial and marital, are explored through folding and rusting forms, the longing for connection with nature and urban spaces and the search for an art practice equivalent to a close friend’s embrace. Ellipse explores the notion of a cyclical history of a precious material becoming commonplace, The female form retraced until almost all trace is lost and Mechanical attempts to counterfeit imagination.

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.
