A portrait of Ryohei Kondo, a contemporary dancer and the leader of the dance company Condors, whose vigorous, lithe performances are well received internationally. Sakiko Nomura draws out his exceptional talent on black-and-white 35mm film, in scenes at many locations across Japan that capture his look of fearless determination. The dancer sometimes glares hard into her lens and sometimes performs like a bird of prey in her viewfinder, and the pictures show both his complete trust and his challenge to her camera. The silver and gold used on the cover bring out the strength of her characteristic black. An exhibition of the same title toured several cities after the book came out at the end of 2006.

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.
