A handy-format retrospective that follows Masahisa Fukase from the 1960s to the early 1990s. By looking intently at his private life, Fukase carved out a unique place in the Japanese photography of the 1960s, in what later became known as the I-photograph: he turned his camera on his wife, his family and others close to him, exposing his own private life and attending to the madness within himself, a madness that mixes a loving gaze at his subjects with a carefree humour. The plates gather his main works, Yugi (Homo Ludens), Yoko, Karasu (Ravens), Sasuke, Kazoku (Family), Aruku me (Walking Eye) and Shikei (Private Scenes), followed by the Bukubuku essays, a text by Tomo Kosuga of the Masahisa Fukase Archives on the paradox of love and photography, exhibition notes, a chronology, exhibitions, a bibliography, awards and a list of works.

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.
