Text by Amal Alhaag

Eyongakpa, born in Cameroon in 1981, works by repetition and transformation, in a way that is close to ritual. He brings together basic analogue mechanics, sculpture, video, sound, scribbling, text and photography, and does it in a fashion that blurs where one medium ends and the next begins, and blurs too the line between what is real and what is illusion. Amal Alhaag describes the result as a puzzle covering rites, coded languages and mundane routines, held together as parallel truths. The reader is left to follow the traces and lose track of time.

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.
