Text by Kai Uwe Schierz

Los Angeles is the subject of Hans-Christian Schink´s photograpic publication. Captured in the dead of night are desolate landscape details that the artist has bathed in sci-fi-like iridescent lights. The results are images that seem to emanate a feeling of surveillance and discomfort. Art historian an contributing writer Kai Uwe Schierz rightly places the work of Schink in the tradition of early-Romantic landscape representation when he argues that "the romantic motif of something alien or the lost distance is just as present in the nocturnal images as in the already familiar daytime imagery."

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.
