A series of a hundred frames made between 1976 and 1978 in Tokyo. Forty-nine of them appeared in a magazine in November 1978, and around the same time all hundred prints were shown at a gallery in Shinjuku and Ginza.

“Just as there exists no flower that has no name, there are no nameless human beings in reality. If we consider the figures our history books tell us about as protagonists, most people are reduced to mere supporting actors; but a slight change of perspective will present them as the subjects of their own unique histories. While seemingly buried in the casualness of daily life, all of them carry their own individual power and toughness, concealed deep within. That is exactly how revolutions used to happen, initiated by such ordinary citizens. Their time may have been just a passing moment that is long gone, but I still feel the repercussions of their existence today.”

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.
