A range of expressions and emotions permeate the pages as you gradually enter Osamu Yokonami’s continuing exploration of primal instincts. The children glance at you. They unknowingly confront you with their personalities that subtly emanate faced with the challenge of holding onto a fruit or vegetable balancing between chin and shoulder — themselves placed within the ever transitioning clouds. Frowning in menace or softly smiling, distanced from civilisation, they patiently wait to be depicted closest to their most natural state.

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.
