The wall stood between East Berliner Sibylle Bergemann and the wider world until November 9, 1989. Until this night, Timbuktu, Bangkok, Dakar are nothing more than names with a longing sound. Then time turns, and Sibylle Bergemann's wanderlust, cherished throughout her life, finds its fulfillment: she sets off for Yemen, Thailand, Ghana, Vietnam, India, Nepal, Mali, and allows herself to be carried away by foreign cultures, people and lifestyles, and exotic locations. She photographs reports – in color. This is also a discovery for a photographer who actually sees herself in the tradition of social documentary black and white photography. Sibylle Bergemann's color images of opulent African festivals and fashion shows, her portraits and landscape images tell of this late love, poetically and powerfully at the same time.

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.
