"Helix (Signed)" is a collection of works by Japanese photographer Shinpei Yamagami. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture in 1984, he worked at Tokyo Visual Arts and Iino Media Pro, which manages studios, before becoming an independent photographer. Since the 2010s, he has presented his work through solo and group exhibitions, and most recently published "KANON," a collection of works featuring butterflies, through a label run by Satoru Machiguchi, a leading figure in book design. His subjects are based on nature, and while the images are soft, the intensity with which he interacts with his subjects is overwhelming. Prior to KANON, he published "Epiphany" (2003) and "liminal (eyes) YAMAGAMI" (2022) through the same Machiguchi label, but this is his first solo work. It was published by Akira Minagawa, a textile and fashion designer who has gained high acclaim worldwide. This book is composed of two parts: "Spectrum," a series of black-and-white photographs taken in Kamakura, the photographer's hometown, between 2014 and 2015, and "The Disintegration Loops," a series of color photographs taken in the same location later. The book's design is also unique, with the two volumes stacked on top of each other. It is a serene and delicate book that conveys the strength and gentleness of Yamagami, who gazes deeply into his subjects. Signed by the photographer .
