This is a study of our perception, an investigation of what we see when we see, and what we unconsciously do not want to see. When we come into a new environment, we ask: “Where am I?” But as soon as we recognise the connections, our attention drops again. Balder Olrik's works are inspired by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman's model of the perceptual structures of the brain. In his pictures, Olrik disturbs our viewing habits by removing context-specific image elements, also as an invitation to perceive our environment more consciously.

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.
