The third volume of The Waiting Game series tackles an image that is inscribed in our visual imagery but seldom represented in photography: a dog guarding the property in the absence of its owners, generally in chains and spending its days behind a fence or wall, watching over an industrial complex, a homestead, a car-scrapping compound or a luxury chalet.

Dogs that feel how their hours become endless. Bored, mistreated, emotionally abandoned and yet obedient, prepared to fulfil their mission in exchange for some food and water, the highest point of their submission entails utter boredom and annihilates expectations. These are dogs that are born and die in the same place, treated as an instrumental resource: a clear paradigm of the dystopic relationship between us humans and our surroundings.

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.
