A poetic dialogue between Polaroid photography and minimalist soundscapes – captured in a unique book project by Simone Kappeler and Tomotsugu Nakamura.

About For a Fleeting Moment

For a Fleeting Moment is the first book by Swiss photographer Simone Kappeler, devoted exclusively to her Polaroid works created between 2011 and 2023. The photographs – sometimes delicate and dreamlike, sometimes strange and distant – were shot using various types of cameras and films, including infrared, disposable, and instant formats.

The book was created as part of a collaboration with Japanese musician Tomotsugu Nakamura, whose minimalist soundscapes are composed of acoustic fragments, electronics, and field recordings. A download code for his music on Bandcamp is included with each copy.

Published by French label IIKKI, this hardcover book is a one-time edition of 700 hand-numbered and hand-stamped copies. No reprints.

About Simone Kappeler and Tomotsugu Nakamura

Simone Kappeler (1952, Frauenfeld, Switzerland) began taking photographs at the age of 11. After studying German literature and art history, she completed photography studies at Zurich University of the Arts. Since the 1970s, she has explored diverse photographic techniques, from infrared film to Super 8. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Museum of Art and History in Neuchâtel and the ICP in New York.

Tomotsugu Nakamura is a musician and graphic designer based in Tokyo. His delicate compositions weave acoustic fragments, electronics, and field recordings. His work has been released by Audiobulb, Kaico, LAAPS, and IIKKI.
