Łukasz Rusznica addresses a deceptive sense of continuity — the belief that, like the world, we will last for ever. His deeply personal perspective (experience, ego, desire, relationships, memory and art) builds an event horizon, a private empire; and although the author does not yet accept it, he knows it will one day disappear. In the pictures plants and people seem frozen on the border between night and dawn, in a liminal state.

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.
