A book of vibrant colour photographs created from the entire archive of Seiji Shibuya's work, including pictures he had actually forgotten about; editing it took roughly a year, and the sequencing is one of its strong points. Many of the photographs deal with natural elements, and several sections riff on the same subject, such as fire or flowers: six or seven images in a row, taken from similar but slightly different perspectives. Beyond this editing technique there are a number of striking snapshots that can stand on their own, and some vague images are balanced by others with exceptionally strong composition. DANCE is printed in a large format on a paper with a slightly rough texture, which complements the work exceptionally well.

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.
