When we look at other people's photo albums, we follow the rhythm of memory: fragmentary, repetitive, shaped by associations and empty spaces, with unknown people and places that often feel familiar. The catalogue of the exhibition of the same name sets historical photo albums from the Draiflessen Collection archive in dialogue with works by contemporary artists, among them Tina Barney, Dayanita Singh, Fiona Tan and Gillian Wearing. The artworks reveal the creative nature of the actions inherent in the albums, driven by the desire to remember, to tell stories, but also to forget.

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.
