Photography by Tanya Marcuse
Essay by Francine Prose

Marcuse’s densely packed images are... wild and obsessive; despite their obvious, unnatural staging, they feel almost alarmingly out of control. – Vince Aletti, The New Yorker This three-volume triptych traces the arc of Tanya Marcuse’s work from the iconic trees of Fruitless to the lush, allegorical compositions of Fallen and Woven . In Fruitless , Marcuse repeatedly photographs particular trees from the same vantage point, cataloguing their seasonal transformations. For Fallen , Marcuse uses frozen, decayed fruit from the same trees to depict an ordered paradise becoming wild and untended, a mixture of rot and growth where malevolent as well as beautiful creatures abound. Woven expands Fallen’ s dense arrangements to immersive, 5 x 10-foot tableaux that interweave wildness and order, beauty and terror.

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.

We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days.
