Chan Wai-Kwong is back with his fourth publication with Japanese publisher Zen Foto Gallery. Its title inspired by the lyrics of Japanese singer Yutaka Ozaki’s song “15 no Yoru”, the book’s design mimics a vinyl double-album, with one book of photographs focusing on black-and-white images and the other on color works. In his established style—a brilliant mix of sincerity, humor, eroticism, vulgarity and sensuality—Wai-Kwong presents a visual diary of life, love, lust and desire. “This book shows my youth. The light and the warmth in its title is something I always wanted to photograph,” says Chan Wai-Kwong in his statement. Youth, to him, means his current period of life. Right now, when he is in love.

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.
