Swiss photographer Sabine Hess (b. 1994, Biel/Bienne; LCC graduate 2022) documents her father's seven-year battle with cancer and his death, alongside her sister's simultaneous transition into motherhood. The forest's slow growth and decay mirror the illness consuming life as she knew it. Born in a time between hope and grief. Star Photobook Dummy Award shortlist.

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.
