Yaga calls up the archetype of a contemporary witch, but above all it is an idea of emancipation. This first publication by the Polish photographer is a volume about freedom — about heteronormative standards, about age shaming and about taking apart the male-female myths that shape society. It is also a work about the relation between beauty and an imposed feminine identity, and about the liberating force of consciously choosing to be excluded, of living outside the bounds of the norm and of a settled cultural context.

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.
