The title means I, self-similar. Over several years the artist built a number of series of self-portraits and other photographic work, set alongside quotations drawn from night dreams collected over a long period. In the interlocking of picture and text a visual and narrative language unfolds that deals with self-determination, trauma and longing, and opens a Kurdish-German perspective still rarely visible in the German art landscape.

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.
