Peter Radelfinger obsessively collects texts and images he finds in newspapers, magazines and online: poems, diagrams, mathematical formulas, ads for men's pyjamas, and many shots of chimpanzees and gorillas. In Falsche Fährten (False Trails) the artist sorts and categorizes these found texts and images, creating categories to grant access. He invites us into his universe, made of much that is important and much that is incidental — a monolith, a compendium that explains the world to its recipient: the world as seen by an obsessively collecting artist born in Bern in 1953, who, after nearly thirty years, is ending his teaching at the Zürich University of the Arts. The focus of Radelfinger's work lies in drawings, animations and found images and texts that appear in numerous exhibitions, performative actions and publications.

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.
