The photo book Beyond Binary invites readers on a journey into a utopia of gender diversity, transcending the conventional male/female gender norm. Beyond Binary showcases the visibility, self-determination, and empowerment of people with (trans*) non-binary gender identities across several generations. The people featured in Beyond Binary are aged between 15 and 72 years. They reveal that gender is an infinite spectrum, where “male” and “female” are merely two poles. In addition to their portraits, the individuals provide us with deep personal and unfiltered insights into their various lived experiences and emotional states through handwritten letters. These insights cover not only gender diversity, but also topics such as neurodiversity, ableism, racism, polyamorous family structures, parenthood, aging, trauma, and discrimination —along with questions of freedom and autonomy.

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.
