Fusing familial archives and personal narrative, Eric Tabuchi’s Kirsten & Yass e reflects on the story of his parents. Kirsten was Danish and Yasse Japanese. Both artists, they left their respective countries in 1951, before meeting in the vibrancy of post-war Paris. Their love, which spanned three decades of creation and life with one another, concealed a secret that was only revealed after Kirsten’s death. Yasse was amongst the last kamikaze pilots to attack American ships at the end of World War 2. His plane ran out of fuel and crashed into the sea; this technical failure would ultimately save his life. Through a combination of personal investigation and artistic exploration, Eric Tabuchi turns this discovery into a meditation on the perpetuation of memory and the limits of the photographic medium.

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.
