First edition

Not just a postcard from abroad, but a zine. The first ever edition of ATÉ JÁ, Everyday a Little Adventure, takes us on a neighbourhood walk. L.A-based Italian photographer Francesca Forquet captures the kitschy charm of the city's visual attractions, but not through its celebrities, broad streets or towering palms. A limited-edition selection from her award-winning 'Santa Monica' series brings the hidden corners of this seaside neighbourhood to these pages. From trash bins to front porches, windowsills to license plates, Forquet's fondness for the symbolic value of day-to-day objects spotlights these peculiar bursts of individuality, inviting viewers to discover humour, irony, and playfulness in the contradictions of modern American society.

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.
