Following his Kimura Ihei Award-winning okinawan portraits 2010-2012, this book looks back at Ryuichi Ishikawa's not-too-distant past: an intense photographic record of his blazing twenties. It echoes the best of a zine, its pocket size barely able to contain the content: the trappings of a wild Okinawan youth, hot tropical nights among friends as screaming motorcycles blast past, blurs of indifference to society, parties and women, fire and noise. It is a book of an endless night of outbursts and crazed drunkenness, punctuated by graphic sexual encounters of all kinds. The book opens with a poem and closes with another, in which Ishikawa lusts after the cry of life, and adrenamix protests against anything less than a hunger to roar it out.

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.
