First edition

A zine from Dashwood's series on emerging artists, drawn from the ongoing project Naked Selfie On Airplane, in which the Taiwanese visual artist John Yuyi, who lives and works between Taipei and New York, has pursued since 2018 the habit of taking a naked selfie every time she boards a plane. Her work explores aspects of social media, photography and the post-internet condition. The colour pictures, shot with a phone in the mirrors of aircraft cabins and lavatories, show her wearing nothing but improvised garments of paper: toilet-seat covers, tissue and rolls of toilet paper wrapped round her body and face.

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.
