Anne-Lise Coste ’s fourth artist’s book, Où suis-je, is a collection of penetrating glimpses into the architectural landscapes of her childhood as they have morphed and reassembled in her mind over time. However filtered and abstracted by memory, these drawings revisit the actual hospitals and infirmaries in which Coste resided as a child during in-patient treatment for an asthmatic condition. They reflect the paradoxically exact and yet imprecise way in which memory replicates details, and the persistence of certain images that remain engraved in our minds. Où suis-je is a key to comprehending Coste’s work, not only for its autobiographical insights, but also for its demonstration of the expansive way in which Coste uses line and text to meditate on loss, longing, and location.

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.
