Long-term project pursued since 1998
Essays by Thilo Koenig and Kathrin Schoenegg

This artist duo has pursued a unique long-term project since 1998, putting together a vast collection of unfixed light sensitive papers, glass negatives, and films, mostly dating from 1880 to 1990. Samples are mounted and displayed and, over the course of several exhibitions, exposed to light, causing them to evolve toward color saturation. Instead of looking at still pictures, viewers perceive a kind of reality for themselves. This book features the entire test catalog put together to date, showing some 900 different papers and light-sensitive supports.

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.
