Sunny Days: A True Story explores an abandoned, former major arterial road in Northern Greece. The project documents the path's remnants, which are decaying due to neglect and the impact of the new, parallel highway. The familiar landmarks are now covered in dust and being forgotten. Sunny Days: A True Story documents unsettling spaces and artifacts that belong to a strange, mysterious world. Found objects are presented as significant findings. The project also features people living off-grid in this area — hermits, runaways, and artists — who are documented as the main characters of the narrative. Their self-contained lives and the landscape’s transformation are contrasted with local development schemes and exclusion policies.

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.
