Biefer/Zgraggen enumerate future doom in 105 numbered prophecies. In its disguise as a religious tract, it is a conscious fiction aiming at the present. What at first looks like glimpses of an apocalyptic world to come, has already come to pass. Photographs of objects excavated after a future catastrophe reflect the deeply catastrophic nature of archeological gestures. A disorienting reflection on the present as it is refracted by the rhetoric of apocalypse and archeology. In collaboration with Musée d’art et d’histoire, Fribourg

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.
