Ten gelatin silver prints paired with typewritten text, part of the artist's ongoing Variable Piece series in which everyday people are photographed and cataloged according to a strict, imposed system. In this iteration, portraits made in West Germany are sequenced with explanatory captions that turn documentary photography into a deadpan exercise in classification, treating each face as a single data point within a larger social inventory.

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.
