“I discovered several dozen Polaroids the other day that I had totally forgotten about, in the lowermost drawer of my locker at my workplace. They are images I was assigned to shoot some years back, put away once they had served their purpose, and now, all of a sudden, they were excavated and once again exposed to the sunlight.

Having turned into undefined fragmentary images in pale, indistinct shades of sepia, they stunned me as I looked at them. Over the enormous time that had passed they had degenerated more and more, and what remained were mere ruins, faint traces of a time already separated from the person who shot them. They had transformed into something in another dimension altogether, and seemed to be shouting at me: look at us, and know all the candid details.”

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.
