In 1997 Furuya produced B5 prints of Christine that he organized in chronological order and placed inside a lever arch file. He wrote down his memories pertaining to each event on the rear of each photograph, the entire work consisting of four files. Concurrently with the publication of this photo book, he held a relay exhibition of the same name in nine galleries in Tokyo and Yokohama. "Christine Furuya-Gossler, Memoires, 1978-1985" is a photo collection by Japanese photographer Seiichi Furuya. Born in Nishiizu, Shizuoka Prefecture in 1950, he moved to Austria in the early 1970s after studying photography at university. He then based his creative activities in Graz, while also founding and editing the photo magazine "Camera Austria" and holding exhibitions of works by Shomei Tomatsu, Nobuyoshi Araki, Daido Moriyama, and others there. He is a photographer who has also worked hard to introduce Japanese photography to Europe. This book is Furuya's masterpiece, a personal documentary that depicts his wife Christine, who committed suicide. "The book is made up of photographs of Christine taken over the seven years and eight months between February 17, 1978, when Christine and I first met in Graz, and her death on October 7, 1985, in East Berlin. They are arranged chronologically, and as chronologically as possible" (from the book), and the time and memories of the two are linked together with the events (records) of that day. "By facing her, photographing her, and seeing her in the photographs, I am simultaneously seeing and discovering 'myself'."
