A photobook ten years in the making, built on the experience of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, a condition in which size and distance look different from reality and the sense of colour and time is disturbed. Kazuhei Kimura had lived since early childhood with such sensations, essential to who he is yet felt not worth sharing, with the loneliness of being unable to share them, and he learned the name of the condition some seven or eight years ago, when almost every symptom matched what he had experienced. Through exhibitions and self-published editions he has tried to lodge the sensation in his work, at times crossing the history of photography. The Japanese title, Stone and Peach, puts into words an image he sees, hard monotone things mixed with soft, vividly coloured ones, and the series took shape over five exhibitions in three years, in a space of photographs, pages and the body.

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.
