“Fordlandia” is a voyage of (de)colonisation in which the British artist continues her aesthetic investigation into the drifts and detours of modernity in uncertain places, away from whatever their imaginaries were. Here she turns to (un)exploring the Amazon interplaying the tensions between industrial and natural landscape, between the living and the machine. Conceived as an illustrated log of the conversation between artist and curator, and accompanied by a philosophical essay about the forms of mere life and the saved night, “Fordlandia” poses and historico-political question about the sense world in contemporaneity.

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.
