Gunung: volcanoes of Indonesia.

“In Indonesia life is organised around volcanoes. Millions of people live on their flanks and more than a hundred and twenty craters are considered active. For an Indonesian the word gunung is a generic term that covers both mountains and volcanoes; it resonates like the name of a god to whom one must submit. Temples and natural parks also use that name, which rumbles like a threat. On the archipelago, in Java, Bali and Lombok, I went to see how life is organised on the slopes of these active craters.”

ABOUT

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.
