Texts by Sabrina Moura and Cristiana Tejo

Exploratorius revisits the scientific expeditions of Spix and Martius in nineteenth-century Brazil. Combining historical research, artificial intelligence and artistic intervention, the work questions colonial narratives. Divided into five chapters, it recreates images from historical textual descriptions, combined with manual interventions that deconstruct scientific visual neutrality, proposing a critical reflection on coloniality, art and technology, and giving new meaning to tropical imaginaries.

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.
