Sam Contis presents a new window onto the work of Dorothea Lange. Drawing from Lange's extensive archive, she constructs a fragmented, unfamiliar world centred on the figure of the day sleeper, at once a symbol of respite and of oblivion. The work shows one artist through the eyes of another, responding to the resonances between their ways of seeing, and reveals a largely unknown side of Lange, including previously unseen pictures of her family and portraiture made in her studio.

ABOUT

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.
