Captures the freedom and power of dance in front of the sun-drenched backdrop of suburban Los Angeles. Wanting to explore and uncover personal feelings of unrest and anxiety, the artist asked a group of contemporary dancers to physically interpret their own emotions and experiences. Improvised movement is photographed to capture pure moments of feeling, expression and stillness, bringing physical form, and also beauty, to normally intangible internal feelings that are familiar to many. Two inlaid images reflect a beginning and end to the narrative played out inside.

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.
