An artist's book that grew out of photographs and writings Markus Vater collected over several years. They show and describe what matters to the artist: things fraught with meaning, questions, relationships and memories. A creative and philosophical volume, as funny as it is serious, it asks what you see when you close your eyes and turn your face to the sun, or how much a cloud weighs. Vater interviews the North Sea, ponders the wind, sheds light on the conditions in which art comes into being and meditates on what holes are.

ABOUT

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.
