A fold-out volume of interiors of former state and luxury hotels in the Eastern Bloc, designed in the 1970s and 80s and visited between 2008 and 2012 with an analogue camera, challenges the imagination to create its own space and story while wandering through cinematic empty rooms. At the artist's invitation, a novelist wrote a short story inspired by the images, one that could have been set in one of these spaces.

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.
