Schoolgirl Complex packages, as faint longing, the fantasies and fetishism born from gazing at the schoolgirl as a symbolic figure. A see-through shirt, socks, legs extending from a checked skirt, the back of a knee, a mole, a scab: even in uniform, the traces of each girl's individuality clearly exist, and toward them the photographer once held strong fantasy and desire, alongside a strong fear of women born of inexperience. By expressing such complex feelings in a thoroughly refined, symbolic form, he seeks to render the fragility and precariousness of adolescence from many sides.

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.
