Covers 90 devices built since 1990

The definitive chronological guide to the ninety pinhole and slit devices built by Darren Glass since 1990. His work results from a blend of rigorously controlled testing and deliberate incorporations of accident. He has constructed a wide array of apparatus, from frisbees that expose film while literally being flung through the air, to static sculptural objects built to catch multiple viewpoints of stream banks. His lens-less imaging devices provide an unusually rudimentary form of the medium.

“Like early practitioners who transported giant glass negatives in wagon-darkrooms in pursuit of extreme resolution, I have made apparatus that is large, difficult to carry, and often intended for a single purpose.”

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.
