Sony MaViCa FD200 camera series

MAViCa: Tokyo Blue brings together 16 images from the artist's ongoing series using the Sony MaViCa FD200 camera. The large format book has been designed to function as a book normally would, but also shape-shifts as an artwork; dismantling to a series of 16 individual images that can be removed from the museum grade Mylar, and displayed on walls. Through the lens of the Sony MaViCa FD200, a relic of the digital dawn, the urban night is transformed into something both haunting and electric. These are not places we know but places we've dreamed: cityscapes that dissolve into light and shadow, their forms abstracted into the kind of fractured visions that J.G. Ballard might have conjured--a realm where concrete and circuitry merge, and the city itself becomes an organism, feeding on its own endless reflections. The MaViCa, with its inbuilt solarized effect, translates the metropolis into a shimmering grid, a cybernetic dream of glass and neon.

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.
