The first comprehensive monograph of the work of Carlos Motta, one of Colombia's most recognised contemporary artists, whose practice explores alternative narratives around marginalised communities and identities in the context of social and political histories.

The anthological volume brings together close to twenty years of work, from his early experiments in drawing, image-making and performance in the late nineties, to his installations based on documentary and archival research.

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.
