Introduction by Tom Conley
Text includes Gilles Deleuze, "L’ile deserte" (1953)

Based on a temporary art project in the public space of a business district, bringing the youngest island in the world, off the coast of Iceland, to a former marshland by means of large panoramic images. The two land masses are comparable in size but otherwise totally different: one a spontaneous impulse of nature accessible only for research, the other changed by human intervention into a business district on some of the most expensive ground in the country. The question raised is where one can find real nature: where ordinary human presence is taboo, or where the city drives out nature?

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.
