Beautiful images by Mat+Kat, gorgeous hair by Evanie Frausto, wonderful text (here) by Georgia Moot: Exploring the landscape of hair as a mode of individualism, Jelly harks back to the teenage years of restrictive existence where a late-night box dye session in the family bathroom is the only method of self-expression. Floating somewhere in the ether between childhood and adulthood, Jelly symbolises the playful nature of self-anointing characters, in an attempt to patch together the identity of the self. Jelly immerses viewers into the melting pot of memories pulled from the trio’s brains—an eclectic and relatable archive of MySpace presence, boarding school culture and rave scenes. The punky rebellious spirit of younger years is brought together with the refinement of the photography duo’s palette and the craftsmanship of Evanies styling. The result? Youthful intimacy viewed through an adult lens. The zine is made entirely of images and treats hair as the place where self-expression, independence and identity are played out: floor-length braids, short cuts with rainbow-dyed patterns and bright chartreuse and cyan colours, on models in their twenties and thirties. Colour portraits of people with dyed hair.

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.

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.
