Yukinori Tokoro engages the relativity of time on a bullet train. Shooting from a Shinkansen window with a slow shutter speed, he makes streaky, magical-seeming images that divide the passage of time along the parallax of the objects flashing by: far objects remain still and clear, nearer objects blur until they are unrecognisable. In the afterword he says that shooting from the train reminded him of Einstein's special theory of relativity, and his aim is a photograph that conveys the flow of time within a single frame, a kind of moving image in one picture. There is a strange beauty in this abstract visual metaphor, one that cannot be replicated in any other medium but photography.

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.
