This work continues André Príncipe's exploration of photography as a way of knowing reality. It has a strong narrative feeling, with two distinct parts: a very precise sequence of pictures of girls and animals is followed by a hazy, dreamlike worldview. An existentialist travelogue that defies the idea that there are pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. The title refers to a Leonard Cohen song.

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.
