Memories of grandparents are at first childhood memories of old people. But what do we know of earlier times, when the grandparents were young? They are our most personal link to a past we know only from films and books. How did the grandparents live and love back then? What remains of a life? In his long-term project Meine Grosseltern – Erinnerungsbüro (My Grandparents – Memory Office), Mats Staub pursues these questions by inviting grandchildren of various ages to talk and presenting their memories in site-specific installations. A constantly growing international archive of subjective stories arises, alongside a collection of photographs showing grandparents in their youth — memory-images from amateur photographers, ritual photography.

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.
