Thousands of kilometres by car and camera through Los Angeles, dream or nightmare? In his long-term project L.A. Crossing, ongoing since 2010, Jens Liebchen shows us the capital of unconditional mobility as it is preferably perceived by most of its inhabitants: through the windows of their cars. From the moving car, Liebchen looks at a city that unites the opposites of utopia and dystopia. L.A. Crossing itself sounds like the title of a film, and so the street becomes a stage and photography a kind of film still.

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.
