A first Steiner-inspired photobook, an encounter with a world of living, leaping things. The sediment at the bottom of a gutter, shifting and changing with the flow and temperature of the water, is seen from a distance as if touched while looking; plants overrunning a vacant lot spread with the movement of stars being born and forming galaxies. Everything, living or non-living, is regarded as alive and moving, and a living form arises where our living senses meet the forms of the living world and act on each other. A rare book that expresses Goethe's morphology and Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy as a work, it includes an essay by the art historian Toshiharu Ito and a new theory of photography on rainbows and etheric imagery by 粟野由美, a professor at Tokyo Zokei University.

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.
