Text by Alfredo D’Amato
Design by 89books

In 2010 I met and started to photograph a group of Eritrean migrants living in Palermo. I found out that most of them had a family member or friends who had also travelled from Africa to Europe. Tragically, many of them had disappeared soon after setting off from Libya. I asked to see photos of these missing people and eventually collected these precious images of people who never reached their final destination.

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.
