Partial coloring of black-and-white photographs

Letter by Anja Nora Schulthess

This series emerged from the immediate appeal of motifs, telling of events and traces, making palpable an inherent tension between the explicitly depicted and the implicitly suggested. People are scarcely visible, yet their presence can be subtly sensed; their traces become reference points leading back to memory and instigating imagination. At first glance the images seem to be unspectacular views that only upon closer inspection reveal an underlying, nonverbal sphere. The partial coloring of pictures shot in black and white reinforces this ambivalence and leads to a shift in focus.

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.
