Over many years, this photographer visited a rainforest island many times to document the daily life of a partially nomadic indigenous people. Their way of life as hunter-gatherers is critically threatened by illegal logging and oil palm plantations. A selection of myths collected by a linguist and anthropologist are published for the first time alongside the photographs, painting a nuanced portrait of this unique culture.

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.
