Named after the Borges story, the work traces the artist's origins amid contradictory family narratives. Indigenous to Peru and orphaned as an infant, Krajnak was adopted into a working-class transracial family in American coal country and raised as a twin to her African American brother. The sequence moves between found vernacular pictures, the artist's own writing and photography, and images appropriated from 1979 political magazines collected in Lima. It gathers portraits and oral histories of women born in Lima in the same year as the artist — her "time twins" — and dwells on violence against women, on disappearance and on displacement caused by war.

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.
