Joueurs Flous is a night journey through the raw edges of the suburban landscape. It traces an invisible map made of ghostly subjects, off-limits infrastructures, and hidden detours to trespass them. In constant motion, the characters repeat the same routes in a loop—like a mantra: enter, paint, exit. Time seems to suspend as the events unfold in a rising climax.

What lingers in the images is the action itself—not the paint that remains on the walls, but everything happening around it. Joueurs Flous focuses on what comes before and after the tags: the intricate planning and the inevitable consequences of these actions.

By blurring the subjects into unrecognisable figures, Joueurs Flous’s antiheroes could belong to any writing crew, from the outskirts of Ravenna to Paris or Naples. The blur captures the rush of the moment and the gestures in motion, turning low light and ever-present adversity into a visual language.

This fanzine is part of the “And Other Chapters” series.

“And Other Chapters” is a series of Cesura Publish dedicated to showcasing the work of Cesura’s mentees through limited-edition experimental publications. It seeks to include an array of embryonic projects reflecting the various research paths undertaken by the group of emerging photographers growing under the supervision of Cesura’s members, an ongoing exchange central to the creative fabric of Cesura’s expanding factory.

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.
