Working in a rigorous, restrained documentary style edged with constant tension, Italian photographic duo Michele Borzoni and Rocco Rorandelli continue their critical investigative practice to reveal the discipline, ingenuity and choreography behind climate justice movements including Extinction Rebellion, Ende Gelände, Code Rouge, Last Generation and Soulèvements de la Terre. Against a backdrop of escalating climate catastrophe – alongside mounting institutional hostility and social apathy – Silent Springs documents these groups as they build road blockades, occupy campuses, enter coal mines and establish makeshift camps in defence of a shared horizon. Presented as a contemporary manifesto, Borzoni and Rorandelli combine photographs tracing the stages of action, from planning and encampment through police confrontation and dispersal, with a glossary that breaks down the language, tactics and ethical frameworks of climate action to reveal how resistance is sustained and justified from within.

ABOUT

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.
