The first 50 hand-bound with a sleeve

An emotional reflection on mortality and on what remains after we are gone. The pictures in the booklet were taken in a long inhabited family home shortly after it had to be abandoned.

“Sed fugit interea fugit irreparabile tempus — but it flees in the meantime, irretrievable time flees. There is nothing to hold on to. The sentimentality I feel for their lives and past belongings is the sentimentality for my own passing and inevitable death. This last record might be hope that one day somebody will record my leftovers.”

ABOUT

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.
