In 2021 for a few weeks, the mountains near the Tonale pass in Italy, and the Champs-Élysées in Paris have been bonded by something that has not been seen before; Huge monuments covered with hundreds of meters of immaculate sheets interrupt the surrounding grayness, sparkling under the sun’s rays and reacting to every gust of wind like possessed sails. In France the packed monument was nothing other than the famous Arc de Triomphe, transformed by a group of volunteers into a posthumous work of art by the famous artist Christo who made a life mission to pack giant artifacts and pieces of landscape. On the border between Lombardy and Trentino-Alto Adige with an operation of much more impressive dimensions, an attempt is being made to save a giant that has been dying for some decades now, under the lashes of the increasingly violent solar rays because of global warming: the Presena Glacier.

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.
