Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

A decade on from the debut release of three books, Utatane, Hanabi and Hanako – all lauded for their subtle use of palette and off-hand compositional mastery – Illuminance is Rinko Kawauchi's first book published outside Japan.

It continues her exploration of the extraordinary in the mundane and the seemingly inadvertent organisation of the natural world into formal patterns. This clothbound volume of mostly hitherto unpublished images testifies to her unique sensibility.
