Over a period of four years the photographer Vincent Kohlbecher repeatedly visited Poland. Here he found motifs that took him back to his childhood, to the Catholic faith, to German history: Gdańsk, Warsaw, Kraków, Płaszów, Majdanek, Auschwitz. Kohlbecher's pictures are like texts that want to be read attentively. The spaces he describes with his images open up to the viewer only in the interplay of the seen and the remembered. Poems by Wisława Szymborska accompany them.

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.
