The second book Keizo Motoda made with M label, with 51 pictures taken between 2007 and 2010. 'Capella' is the brand name of a Mazda car, sold abroad as the Mazda 626, which came out in 1970. On the endpaper is a snapshot of Motoda's mother holding her two-year-old son beside a brand-new Capella, taken by his father to mark the purchase; his father died soon afterwards and he keeps only a dim memory of him. Around 1996 Motoda began photographing people on the streets of Tokyo with a 6x7 medium-format camera, and since about 2005 he has photographed dancers, musicians and bikers who gather on Sundays in Harajuku with a panorama camera. He turned to cars on the advice of the publisher, who suggested black-and-white 4x5 negatives, and this book follows the earlier series Motodablack.

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.
