Famed photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto talks with Darius Himes about his new book Theaters. Purchase a copy here: www.strandbooks....
The allure of the cinema, the place where people gather to get away from the hustle and bustle of their everyday lives, to escape into another world. It’s an almost mystical location made more captivating with detailed architecture. A perfect place to capture in a photograph as Hiroshi Sugimoto has done in his series Theatres. For this project, he opens the camera shutter and exposes a roll of film for the duration of the movie, letting the screen be the only source of light. The result is something beautiful.
Hiroshi is joined in conversation with Darius Himes, International Head of Photographs for Christie’s and co-author of Publish Your Photography Book.
