Anamnesis grew out of black-and-white photographs Aliki Christoforou took during a long hospital stay after a severe traffic accident on 29 December 2017. When she developed the rolls she had no recollection of many of the moments they showed, so she manipulated the prints in the darkroom to reflect the failures of her memory and the paradox of wanting to neglect the incident while needing to remember it. The title takes up Aristotle's two terms for memory: passive mneme and active, reminiscent anamnesis.

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.
