Morais Soares is a very popular street among the residents of Lisbon. Lively and bustling, this street stands out not only for the large crowds of people that pass through it every day, but also for an aerodynamic spectacle that goes largely unnoticed: the Grand Prix of pigeon races. Through encouraging an imaginative and innocent gaze, this hand-made ensemble brings photography to its youngest spectators, offering them a glimpse into a very unique type of aerial hustle and bustle. The book's feathered competitors are seen soaring above the rooftops, rearing their wings at the start line, and setting off for an exciting flight through the much-loved Rua Morais Soares.

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.
