Spanish photographer Pia Riverola's sun-drenched images evoke the rhythm of a day in an effortless series of vignettes from around the world.

Loose Joints is excited to present Días, a tonal collage of places and days by Spanish photographer Pia Riverola. Renowned for her evocative, hazy imagery, the delicately-sequenced Días uses motion, blur, and dappled light to create a sensory and synaesthetic experience, transporting you to a memory long-forgotten, plucked from time. Riverola's dreamy images, soaked in atmosphere, evoke feelings of distance and travel: from neon-lit rainy Japanese nights, a Mediterranean breeze lifting a Spanish tablecloth, or Italian drizzle softly falling beneath an umbrella in a Roman garden.

A self-taught photographer, Riverola's images contain a casual offhandedness; candid like an overheard conversation, intimated and muffled like a late-night call with a friend, celebratory and in wonder of the world. As if peeling away the layers, the days of toil and tribulation to see the world anew, Días feels cleansing and deep in its essence, joyful yet sombre in the way Riverola's oblique evocations roll away before your eyes. With Días, Riverola continues to explore her passion for capturing the essence of place, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the poetic beauty of her journeys.

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.
