Covers 90 devices built since 1990

The definitive chronological guide to the ninety pinhole and slit devices built by Darren Glass since 1990. His work results from a blend of rigorously controlled testing and deliberate incorporations of accident. He has constructed a wide array of apparatus, from frisbees that expose film while literally being flung through the air, to static sculptural objects built to catch multiple viewpoints of stream banks. His lens-less imaging devices provide an unusually rudimentary form of the medium.

“Like early practitioners who transported giant glass negatives in wagon-darkrooms in pursuit of extreme resolution, I have made apparatus that is large, difficult to carry, and often intended for a single purpose.”

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.

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.
