"Nearly ten years have passed since the Troika imposed its austerity measures in Portugal, Greece and Ireland. The Arab Spring left a trail: Libya imploded, war still rages in Syria, and protest movements have broken out in Lebanon, Algiers, Iraq and Iran. In Hong Kong the Umbrella Revolution of 2014 cleared the way for a widespread rebellion in defence of the principle of one country, two systems. The Fukushima disaster continues to spawn inextricable environmental problems. Many key political figures of the period have left the scene. Gaspar is now seventeen and preparing for the national exams; the time has come for Gustavo's body to change from a child's to a young adult's. Two years have passed since Patrícia died." (David-Alexandre Guéniot, March 2020) The work was originally published in 2015 as a large collective object to look at with others; this version has grown smaller and more reserved, and brings out a one-to-one relation.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is a digital platform dedicated to independent photobooks, photography 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.
