Michio Yamauchi's street photography from visits to Hong Kong between 1995 and 1997, capturing a significant period of the city's history. Through wandering and encounters, the photographs reveal the coming changes: the end of an era of 156 years of colonial administration and the internationalisation and modernisation of the early 1990s that led to the handover to China. The scenes form a photographic narrative both familiar and unfamiliar, echoing through the individuals who inhabit the spaces of the city and guiding the viewer as spectator and voyeur through a period of its history.

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.
