Hiroshi Sugimoto: Theaters

Forty years ago, at the age of 28, noted Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto began his Theaters series. With a large-format camera, he photographs classic and drive-in movie theaters with no lighting other than the running movie. When the movie begins, his aperture opens; when the movie ends, it closes. The resulting images are haunting and luminous. Pictured here is "Union City Drive-In, Union City, 1993." To learn more about the series and Sugimoto's life as a photographer, come to the Strand Bookstore tonight, where he will appear in conversation with Darius Himes. Book signing to follow.
