A surreal and kaleidoscopic tour of Afghanistan during the height of the American conflict, framed in the context of the chaotic 2021 military withdrawal and the collapse of the Afghan government. Conceived with Brody's longtime collaborator in the country, it is a tactile accordion that invites several readings: it can be paged through like an ordinary volume, seen as a shifting tableau of full-circle panoramas from which the reader composes their own arrangements, or displayed as one very long two-sided print.

Inside the cover, a WhatsApp exchange with Brody's friend and interpreter in Afghanistan details his harrowing journey with his family to the gates of Kabul airport, while a group of veterans in the United States tried to steer them through the oceanic crowds in what came to be known as the Digital Dunkirk.

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.
