The Danish photographer, Tina Enghoff has documented a part of human life that few are seldom witness to – death in the shape of traces left by people who have passed away alone. Possible Relatives is a book about rejection, loneliness and invisibility – about the poverty of social contact in our otherwise economically developed welfare system. “We who only see the empty rooms in this book, know nothing about the people who have left them. But we can surmise that most of those who have departed from earthly life in these apartments without calling for help, have given up all hope to be liked and have abandoned all role play long ago. Can we who are captured by these pictures draw any wisdom from what we see? Have we any reason to stop and reflect, even for a few seconds before we return to our roles?” / Georg Klein, author and for many years researcher with The Tumour Biology Unit at The Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden.

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.
