The work of the Dutch poet, painter and photographer Gerard Petrus Fieret (1924-2009) is among the strangest and most subversive made in Europe in the 1960s. From 1965, when he got his first camera, a Praktiflex, to the mid-1970s, this self-taught photographer worked at speed and without precaution: scratched, stamped, fingerprinted prints, women photographed in his own rooms, pigeons, the street, and a constant fear of being robbed of his images.

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.
