The deer hunter shoots its prey and immediately opens the carcass with a cleaver. Jays fly down first to consume the remains of the deer -- first, jay comes. New photographs and drawings capture these traces of the hunt: the cleared clearing, the discarded remains, the scavenger birds that arrive before anything else does, and the quiet forest that closes back over the scene once they are gone.

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.
