Hiroshi
Sugimoto (born 1948 in Tokyo) lives and works in New York.
Using photography,
amazing invention in the 19th century, he has pursued the possibilities
of its validity as medium since 1970s: the Dioramas which brings
the
stuffed animals back to life by re-killing them with photography.
In the Theater series, he explores the photography as a memory device,
in which a luminance remains as a radiant blank in the screen after
cumulative projection of an entire film. The Seascapes investigates
a "presence of water and air" as peculiar phenomenon of
the planet earth, how it effects a stratum of the ancient memory
for
a mankind who is conceited of its position as the top of the evolution
of life. |
