After examining Tokyo's train stations in his 2022 book Station, Retsu Shinoda explores the city's greenhouses with the camera. Less interested in the structures themselves, the black-and-white photographs focus on the oppressive humidity, the sickly sweet scents and the otherworldly atmosphere of these places, whose unusual world the book holds. The unusually dark prints depict the tropical plants growing in the closed space of the greenhouses as exotic and almost unnatural, yet still fascinating.

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.
