Barbara Rossi photographs the Lilong residential areas and Shikumen architecture of Shanghai in the process of demolition. Through grey-toned images she documents the erosion of collective memory and the rapid urbanisation consuming the city's historic fabric. Descriptive notes accompany each building, turning archiving into an act of remembrance and reflection on contemporary life. Text by Costanza Nizzi.

ABOUT

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.
