Critical text by Paola Paleari

A mental exercise carried out through photography. Filipponi was asked to document the quick changes in a private building in Rome, whose empty rooms, formerly part of different apartments, served as the stage for the twelve-hour art event Art is Real, with twenty-one artists, before becoming the construction site of a new hotel. Discarding any descriptive or narrative intent, he formulates a systematic investigation into the ephemeral nature of things and their representation. The book carries a critical text by Paola Paleari.

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.
