A portrait of the first post-Soviet generation in Latvia and one of the first projects of its kind in Eastern Europe: the last generation before social networks and over-conscious self-representation, when people were much less aware of how they looked in pictures. Most images were shot between 2000 and 2004 on an Olympus Mju II film camera, ending when Latvia joined the EU. Intimate and revealing, but not grotesque; Blake Andrews calls it a crowd that did not require much arm twisting to get naked.

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.
