Raquel Bravo's first book, a work of post-memory sparked by the discovery, after her father's death, of his photographic archive and of his missionary work in Brazil before she was born. From the discrepancies between the images and her own account a negotiation of meanings unfolds, putting into play her family's founding fantasies and their representation in the family album, alongside the workings of power within colonialism, capitalism and the missions of the Catholic Church.

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.
