Born from an invitation by the Museum of Hunting and Nature in Paris, the project turns hunting into another kind of pursuit: the “hunt for love” conducted for over a century through matrimonial ads in newspapers. The anonymous material echoes the investigation, observation and cataloguing that run through the artist’s work, and the accumulation of thousands of ads draws a map of expectations, projections and loneliness.

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.
