Andro Wekua's Georgian hometown of Sukhumi — once a holiday destination for Soviet functionaries, a picturesque coastal town with lemon trees — is today a restricted zone and thus remains a reservoir of memory: grandmother's house, the Black Sea, the ping-pong table behind the house, the monumental freighter at the quay, political turmoil. From these fragments Wekua constitutes atmospheric images and synthesizes biographical fragments. On one drawing, in scrawled writing, stands “I see,” below it the addition “Black see.”

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.
