Ischgl, the infamous après-ski hub in the Austrian Alps, was a hotspot for the spread of Covid-19 throughout Europe and beyond. This book of Lois Hechenblaikner’s photos, with accompanying German text, is a must-have for all those wanting to understand the negative impacts of mass tourism. If you can’t read German, not to worry: the photos alone are more than enough—in Walker Evans’ immortal words, “pictures speak for themselves, wordlessly, visually—or they fail.” “Ischgl” shows us our folly, and how we need to change.

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.
