Hiroshi Sugimoto
Selections from the Theaters series 1970s-2000s
Gelatin silver print size variableSome interesting background info on Sugimoto’s strategy for capturing these images:
To create each image, Sugimoto would take a long-exposure photograph of a cinema screen for the entire duration of a movie, resulting in a blank white screen. “Different movies give different brightnesses,” [Sugimoto] said. “If it’s an optimistic story, I usually end up with a bright screen; if it’s a sad story, it’s a dark screen. Occult movie? Very dark.” The project was partly the result of wanting to make a simple form visible: “The simplest forms have authority, like a blank white light. And how do you photograph that? You need a framework to make it visible. But this is not simply white light; it is the result of too much information.”
