After Palms of the fog, the Canadian artist returns to photography for a book that runs on his usual material, language and form. The black-and-white series lays out one fictional day in the coastal town of Shimoda, in Japan. A long text slipped inside a poster-cover in acid-pop colours supports it, and the landscape the pictures build is thick with allegory and with nods to the history of Japanese photography. What the pages weave together is a link to the unreal, to mystery, and now and then to something like hallucinated transformation.

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.
