Kaddish is about the loss of three people very close to the artist, and the way those voids are reflected in surprising and often absurd ways in daily life. The oldest picture in the volume shows his great-uncle in Rome in 1947; the most recent shows his own shadow on a wall in Germany in 2023. Hundreds of pictures collected and kept over the last twenty years form an amorphous, ambient scroll of information: frames from archives, texts, emails, pictures taken from family albums, home movies, screenshots, Zoom funerals and telephone footage.

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.
