ACCIDENT as a photographic series was created for a column running monthly in 1969 in the magazine Asahi Camera. The publication of ACCIDENT is the first time this series has been realized as a bookwork. ACCIDENT takes the photobook and edges it closer to the artist's multiple. The individual spreads of the book are silk-screened prints that have been affixed together and folded to form an accordion that is twenty metres in length when fully extended. The choice of printing the entirety of the book in silk screen is meant to give the images a materiality through the reproduction process.

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.
