The first photobook by Fumio Iwaki, who keeps photographing the same person in the same room. Turning the pages of these composed yet somehow strange portraits one by one, we cannot follow any kind of story: a triangle (san-kaku) left hanging in mid-air. The volume and presence of the subject always occupy a definite position in space, the triangle of composition; and yet what is it that does not settle into a triangle, that does not converge into a form? The book conveys the almost comical struggle of facing a single person through photography. Touching on the strangeness of how we relate to others and live our daily lives, it leads somehow to the strangeness of 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.
