The artist's book Widersprüchliche Bewegungsreize (Contradictory Movement Stimuli) follows on from the publication Universen (Edition Patrick Frey, 2011) and makes the artistic output of the past ten years visible and tangible in the form of an artist's book. Once again readers are carried into a wonderfully proliferating cosmos of images. Unlike in Universen, the defining image-carriers are not collages and ink drawings; instead the focus lies entirely on the photographs of huber.huber. Composed into double spreads, they form surfacing and submerging sequences, into which further works in other techniques are woven. The shimmering tapestry of images sets off genuinely contradictory movement stimuli and, in extreme cases, leads to the same symptoms as motion sickness. Short text entries (translated into seven languages in all), oscillating between terse descriptions and associative sense impressions, provide a key to some pictures while also serving as soothing pauses. An unusually expansive index, with its simple words for things and qualities (apple, Petri dish, salt lake, or damp, geometric, uncanny), makes the cosmos of images legible.

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.
