offers a parallel exploration of the little-known work of Luxembourg photographer Michel Medinger and his house, filled with collections of objects that populate each of his photographs.

At the heart of his surrealist and baroque work, his still lifes photographed over 30 years take on a theatrical dimension where, with subversive humor, life and death meet.

This book accompanies the exhibition

presented at the Rencontres d’Arles 2024 and in Luxembourg.

Published in co-publication with Lët’z Arles and the National Audiovisual Center (CNA).

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.
