First edition

A tribute to the still-life tradition, moved into a contemporary dark forest. The pictures are made at night with whatever light is at hand, a torch, a reporter's flash, car headlights, the glow of a streetlamp, so that colours and shapes surface out of the dark a moment before they vanish again. The plants that usually serve as inert scenery for human activity are pushed to the centre and given the lead in a dreamlike thriller: a tangle of clues, signals and undecipherable languages, evidence of an activity that is intriguing and relentless and not ours.

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.
