Leslie Markus’s book moves through documentary photography with lightness and discretion. To document would be to confirm or witness something, a fact; the documenting here is subjective, in between the lines, without proof but with propositions and questions. The daily round of three siblings is diluted until an amalgam forms. Intimacy, ordinary life, the relationships and the tensions of the family surroundings are set down with delicacy and care. The book goes beyond the family album that dates and closes a period: the essay stays open to readings and glimpses of where the people in the narrative are going.

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.
