New colour photographs made in the same semi-rural midwestern landscape Tim Carpenter explored in his earlier books. Less a sequence of "decisive moments" than a series of fleeting moments of recalibration, the pictures follow the subtle repetitions and reassessments of a sensate body moving in time through a physical world: no final solutions and no perfect versions, only the playful reckoning of a self working with a camera, entangled with concrete and steel, wood and water. The slightly off-kilter design favours motion, variation and process over hero images.

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.
