Published in conjunction with the exhibition at Sprengel Museum Hannover

Published in conjunction with Fiona Tan’s eponymous exhibition at Sprengel Museum Hannover, which celebrates her being awarded the SPECTRUM International Prize for Photography of the Stiftung Niedersachsen in 2019, this book reflects the artist’s differentiated use of photography on a comprehensive scale, taking account of the phenomenon of time and at the interface with the medium of film. ‘Goraiko’ translates as “the coming of the light”, and refers to the sunrise as seen from the top of Mt. Fuji, the highest point in Japan. Page after page is printed with myriad representations of the iconic mountain in a comprehensive and overwhelming visual presentation.

ABOUT

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.
