Suburbs are wrapped in an unsettling atmosphere: people live there, yet no sign of human life can be felt, perhaps because many of them have no roots in the place and came from somewhere else. Yoshihiko Saito captures that atmosphere in images that give viewers a comfortable sense of fear and gloom. In the afterword he writes that he was not born there and does not feel particularly attached to the place, that he even forgot the reason he moved there, and that, trying to accept it as the place where he currently lives, he goes around repeatedly recording the interior of imaginary lines.

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.
