A collection of Miyako Ishiuchi's earliest photographs, which she discovered by chance while preparing a solo exhibition at the Yokohama Museum of Art. They were made within her daily life and developed in a makeshift darkroom in her parents' house. In her afterword, in Japanese and English, she writes that the black-and-white pictures provoke no nostalgia or sentimental memories and appear instead as mysterious proof of the depth of the decades between that time and her life today, and that although she still finds them imperfect she recognises that she already had the vision that led her to create Yokosuka Story, Apartment and Endless Nights.

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.
