Softcover
60 pages
First edition
Edition of 350 copies
Printed on a mimeograph machine

Photographs of the graffiti-laden Los Angeles River, all taken over the course of a single day, as indicated by the timestamp on Marcopoulos's camera. The grainy black-and-white images show a lone figure on a sandy bank among bushes and a crouching figure on a concrete riverbed covered in graffiti. The wide horizontal format is well suited to describe a functional architecture of concrete overpasses and embankments, barren environs reclaimed by the skate and graffiti communities. Handsomely produced on a mimeograph machine in a small edition.

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.
