The work evokes the urban artistic movement that appeared in New York in the 1970s, known for its egocentric and identity-affirming dimension. What interests the artist is the act of marking public space with one's own name, of repeating a tag from street to street, of declaring one's existence; and in that phenomenon he sees a parallel with present-day social media practice and with the contemporary language of advertising, which he has been studying for a long time. He devoted four years to the project.

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.
