In her photobook debut Kozue Ishimoto presents photographs taken in the streets of Delhi and Varanasi in India. Fascinated by day-to-day life on the streets, from chaotic traffic to street vendors cooking food and religious ceremonies on the banks of the river Ganges, Ishimoto matches candid wide-angle scenes with staged portraits. Although they are in black and white, the photographs have an almost three-dimensional quality: the interplay of artificial light and shadows on the streets at night, or the intense detail of the portraits, lends each image a vivid, life-like sensibility.

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.
