Unfurling like a strip of motion picture film, this pocket-sized gem reproduces 22 images from Sugimoto's conceptually rich Theaters series. From Sonnabend Sundell Editions and eyestorm (publishers of the 2000 edition of Theaters), "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,' he 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.'". N° de réf. du libraire 111497
