Indie Photobook Library

I’m honored to have my book, 18 Rue Dugommier: Reginka Cukierman Struzevska,  included in the Indie Photobook Library.

ABOUT THE LIBRARY
The Indie Photobook Library is an archive of self-published and indie published photobooks. This includes DIY, photobooks independently published and distributed, photography exhibition catalogs, print-on-demand photobooks, artist books, zines, photobooks printed on newsprint, limited edition photobooks, and more. The iPL promotes and showcases the books in the collection through international pop-up and feature-length exhibitions, articles, conferences, guest lectures, and also preserves them as a non-circulating public library.

I’m grateful to my amazing team of carpenters who I’m grateful to my amazing team of carpenters who took my very rough plans and turned it into a reality, on time and on budget. They also agreed to a brief “topping out” ceremony, which was highlight of my installation day today.

A topping out ceremony is a long-standing European and North American construction tradition that marks the moment when a building reaches its highest structural point. Typically held when the final beam is set in place, it is a way to recognize the collective effort of the builders and to celebrate a major milestone in the construction process. The ceremony often includes raising a small tree or branch to the top of the structure, symbolizing growth, continuity, and respect for the natural materials used in building.

In this case, the ceremony includes a special cedar branch brought from Altadena, California—an area that has experienced significant wildfires in recent years. Some of my photographs are drawn from that landscape, shaped by the presence and aftermath of fire. The branch carries both personal and environmental meaning, connecting this new structure to a place marked by loss, resilience, and transformation. By incorporating it into the topping out ritual, the gesture extends the tradition—linking the act of building with memory, distance, and the evolving relationship between landscape and home.

上棟式(トッピングアウト・セレモニー)は、ヨーロッパや北米における建築の伝統的な儀式で、建物が構造的に最も高い地点に達したことを祝うものです。通常、最後の梁が設置される際に行われ、建設に関わる人々の協力と努力を称え、この重要な節目を祝います。この儀式では、小さな木や枝を建物の頂部に掲げることが多く、それは成長や継続性、そして建築に用いられる自然素材への敬意を象徴しています。

今回の式では、アメリカ・カリフォルニア州アルタデナから持参した特別な杉の枝を用います。この地域は近年、大きな山火事を経験しており、私の写真作品の一部もその風景や火災の痕跡から生まれています。この枝は個人的かつ環境的な意味を持ち、喪失や再生、変化の記憶が刻まれた土地と、この新しい建物とを結びつけます。この枝を儀式に取り入れることで、建築という行為に、記憶や距離、そして風景と住まいの関係性を重ね合わせたいと考えています。
