A collaboration between Kyoji Takahashi and the younger photographer Yu Ukai, who each contributed pictures taken with a Leica. The two bodies of work are mixed in complete harmony, with no guideline to show which photograph belongs to whom, and the images ignore the up and down and the left and right of their subjects, as if released from gravity. It marks the return of Takahashi, who in the 1990s worked with 8x10 negative film and finished original colour prints in his own darkroom, then quit commissioned work and withdrew from view, becoming something of a legend, before resuming his unrestrained activity in 2008.

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.
