Hiroshi Sugimoto: Theaters

Hiroshi Sugimoto's 1978 photograph of Radio City Music Hall is reproduced from Theaters, the gorgeous new addition to Damiani and Matsumoto Editions' ongoing Sugimoto book series, which currently includes Seascapes and Dioramas. Sugimoto describes seeing his first experiment in the series: "The image was something that neither existed in the real world nor was it anything that I had seen. So who had seen it, then? My answer: it was what the camera saw. It was the afterimage of a great accumulation of afterimages. The excess of light was illuminating the darkness of ignorance."
