Investigates how spatiality works in photography and how it can become an instrument for narration. A series of photographed spaces open up a conversation and hint at intimate stories. Walls look cracked, roughly textured, seeming to address the hands instead of the eyes: they beg to be touched, stroked, felt. These spaces look like unfinished buildings or abandoned ruins, still under construction or already in decline. The introduction of a temporal sense, of something pointing towards a future completion or a lingering memory of what has irrevocably passed, adds to the inherent instability of the work: are we looking at a possible dystopian future or the remnants of a utopian past?

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.
