Lavoué reveals the unexpected links between two worlds that seem distant but share gestures, traditions and a history: in the past, sailors took over theatres in winter, putting their mastery of knots, pulleys and teamwork to use on stage. A resident at the Comédie-Française since 2015, the photographer explored behind the scenes, where the stage bridge and the fly loft felt like the gangways of a frigate, and then boarded three emblematic vessels of the French Navy.

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.
