Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff’s book brings together black & white photographs taken at apartment viewings in Berlin, London and Zürich in 2015, and exhibited at the Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi in Berlin the same year. The images render a landscape of apartments, mostly empty, punctuated by potential buyers or renters projecting their own possible futures onto the spaces. The photographs blend into each other as if they were of one building, putting together material treatments, fixtures, flooring and faucets in their extraordinary specificity; or as if they were of one city, seen from the inside like a portrayal of a private-public sphere. The book includes a text by Pablo Larios elaborating on the staging of personal environments and the relationship between figure and ground in Henkel and Pitegoff’s work.

ABOUT

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.
