A set of photograms made during a residency in Georgia. Eloy questions time, memory and the living in that shut-away corner of the Caucasus, while continuing to put to us his own doubts about what an image is.

Alternating the photograms with the scenes that produced them, he unsettles our sense of what an image can be: each exposure yields both a photogram — the flash acting on light-sensitive paper placed in the space — and a view of that arrangement, caught by a camera. Extending the feeling of an image from the inside and from the outside, the design of the volume lays out a path that plays on those different surfaces.

A photogram is an image obtained without a camera, by placing objects on a light-sensitive surface.

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.
