The Taiwanese photographer Tsai Ting-Bang turns the camera inward in a deeply personal work about his older brother. As children the two were inseparable and often mistaken for twins, but their lives diverged: the younger pursued film-making and photography while the elder, once a gifted artist, struggled with depression, insomnia and illness. The pictures follow a relationship marked by rivalry and love, and the slow work of staying close to someone whose life has taken another turn.

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.
