After Party shows the façades of hundreds of French and Belgian nightclubs photographed in daylight. Still in business, the clubs appear in a new light: neon and the other sulphurous attributes of the night are replaced by a more standard, less glittery reality, and they turn into neutral buildings in peri-urban or rural areas, among industrial estates and sugar-beet fields. As Cinderella returns to reality, these places of celebration, idealised by many teenagers, become empty; with humour and a hint of nostalgia, the series also pays tribute to their overdecorated designs and visual codes.

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.
