This book is a travel narrative of a different kind. The viewer travels through time while reading, yet remains in the same place, the village of Berka in Thuringia. The village was accompanied photographically by three photographers of one family over 70 years, between 1950 and 2022. It is an unusual project, owed to several coincidences, that tells much about this country, the village, its people and how things have developed.

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.
