Actes Sud

Arles, France · since 1978

Actes Sud was set up in 1978 by Hubert Nyssen and Christine Le Bœuf, and it grew out of ACTES, the Atelier de Cartographie Thématique et Statistique; its first home was a sheepfold in Le Paradou, far from Paris and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and in 1983 it moved to the Le Méjan site in central Arles. Joined early on by Françoise Nyssen, Bertrand Py and Jean-Paul Capitani, it became a sizeable house, known above all for foreign literature in dozens of languages, with series for theatre and other fields. Photography is a small part of a large general list.

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.
