An homage to Einstein, the photographer's superstar since childhood, and to the Special Theory of Relativity. Since it is inconceivable to photograph while travelling at the speed of light within one lifetime, Yukinori Tokoro photographs from a Shinkansen at 300 kilometres an hour as a small consolation, hoping that others might share this humble experiment; at the same time the work is a challenge to the questionable principle of time that, the artist believes, is a fabrication made only for human convenience. The afterword by Marcia Iwatate is titled The Wizard of Time. All text is in Japanese and English.

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.
