Repair Stories unpicks the concealing power of disrepair by giving life to reparative projects already at work in the context of the Australian built environment — both in theory and in practice. These stories seek to repair a continent that continues to live under the structuring logic of colonial dispossession and extractive economies. Featuring contributions from architects, artists, designers and educators, Repair Stories interrogates the methods, limitations, obligations and potential of repair, and proposes repair as an environmental imperative. The publication includes 40 contributors spanning multiple disciplines, addressing themes from ecological care and First Nations sovereignty to architectural maintenance and the ethics of preservation.

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.
