Here she exposes, re-exposes and superimposes film and bodies. Ancient sculpture is the starting point of a dialogue with her own body, a fine alloy of the organic and the mineral.

The series had not been seen before. It calls up centuries of art in a contemporary gaze and, though made entirely on film, it is unbearable to our prudish screens. The very large format also carries a continuous literary whisper, a new gesture for her: a text woven with the pictures that stretches and lights what is being laid bare.

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.
