In Uniform depicts members of the executive and judicial branches. Uniforms alter identities: they assign clear roles and delineate the boundaries between the public and the private sphere. A uniform symbolizes the separation between the individual person and the office they are holding, between citizen and state. It obscures the personality of the person who wears it. Viewing these people in their private environments opens up a new perspective—one that interrogates stereotypes of state authority while also raising questions of responsibility. What is the nature of the relationship between citizen and state? What does responsibility mean in a democracy? How do we perceive those who represent the state and its monopoly of power?

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.
