A series of lost-cat flyers gleaned by the photographer over eight years: weathered, scarred posters on crumbling walls, whose cats we sense more as an aura than as a figure, one eye more than an expression. Each image of a seemingly crumbling piece of wall tells a story, leading the viewer into a territory on the margins, travelled by stealthy creatures familiar with survival, like those in seventies films of resilience and nostalgia. A paradox: cats, so individualistic and independent, are suddenly deeply missed. Once gone, they cease to stand for triumphant freedom and, painstakingly put on record in a few ingenuous lines on a more or less average photo, embody the anguish of love lost and a quest for an unlikely reunion. The posters become ex-votos, little spectres worn by seasons and damp, spiritistic visuals that retain the spirit of these phantasmal homecomings.

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.
