Between 1918 and 1924, over four journeys to Tierra del Fuego, the German missionary Martin Gusinde conducted the only in-depth study of the Selk’nam, Yamana and Kawésqar, immersing himself in these societies to the point of speaking their language and joining the Hain initiation rite. Around 250 photographs selected from the 1,200 archived at the Anthropos Institute make up this first book on his images of vanished peoples.

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.
