Floridays is a multifaceted portrait of a synthetic society, gleaming and hyperreal on the surface, twitching with distortion underneath. It shines with a kind of nervous confidence, like something trying too hard not to break. Paolo Zerbini draws on the overloaded aesthetic of the 1990s to depict a world deafened by its own shrillness, numbed by its own bad taste.

Graphically, the book leans into repetition. The same subjects recur throughout, slightly altered with each appearance, performing themselves in flamboyant ways and multiplying across the pages. Identity becomes a loop, not a line. Floridays is thus both a love letter and a critique: a chromed-out guilty pleasure, slick, packaged and unapologetically oversized.

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.

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.
