Architectures of Time
A selection of some 100 shots from the artist's estate

For thousands of years, people have built so-called calendar buildings: structures that served as sundials for measuring time or were used for astronomical calculations. This photographer dedicated himself comprehensively to such buildings, in a project spanning fifteen years traveling the world in search of such sites, studying them, and recording many in striking images. His interest focused both on the architecture and its particular coding through the respective culture, as well as on the theory of photography as an allegorical image of time. Due to his premature death, the fascinating project remained unfinished and unpublished until now.

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.
