Joshua Lutz's second monograph is an intimate portrait unlike other models: rethinking how images and text can function, he blends family archives, interviews and constructed frames.

“Holding on so tightly to what I believed was sanity, and being consumed by fear of depression and schizophrenia, prevented me from being fully present to my mother's reality. The past few years, as she slipped away from the aggressive paranoia and depression of my youth to an almost calming sense of delusion, made it much easier for me to rid the anger that veiled my life and to attempt to find a place of empathy and compassion as I managed her care. In making this work, and simultaneously falling deeper into her psychosis, I tried to imagine a time when past, present and future collided; a place where the weight of memory is heavier than reality.”

ABOUT

SpineIndex is a digital platform dedicated to independent photobooks, photography publications, design books, and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues.

A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
