Sony MaViCa FD200 camera series

MAViCa: Tokyo Blue brings together 16 images from the artist's ongoing series using the Sony MaViCa FD200 camera. The large format book has been designed to function as a book normally would, but also shape-shifts as an artwork; dismantling to a series of 16 individual images that can be removed from the museum grade Mylar, and displayed on walls. Through the lens of the Sony MaViCa FD200, a relic of the digital dawn, the urban night is transformed into something both haunting and electric. These are not places we know but places we've dreamed: cityscapes that dissolve into light and shadow, their forms abstracted into the kind of fractured visions that J.G. Ballard might have conjured--a realm where concrete and circuitry merge, and the city itself becomes an organism, feeding on its own endless reflections. The MaViCa, with its inbuilt solarized effect, translates the metropolis into a shimmering grid, a cybernetic dream of glass and neon.

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.
