Brendan came to me a while back with a wild idea for a book or zine. I think it was a book about porn dvd covers. I forget why we didn't do it. Maybe the timing was wrong or something. I'd seen his previous book and I loved it. Back then I didn't know him personally, but now I do, and getting to know him has given me a deeper understanding of his excellent work. He is an archivist by practice. Every image you see in his work, he owns in physical form. He is one of my favorite visual artists. Orion is, in my opinion, his best work yet. I am honored to publish this book with and for him, and to include a really perfect foreword by legend and book Jesse Pearson. For Remy. Collages of rock and horror imagery, portraits of musicians and pin-up pictures.

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.
