LTB: Hiroshi Sugimoto - U.A. Walker , by artmonster on Dec 27, 2020 21:47:52 GMT 1, Nice to see Sugimoto get a mention on here. I love his work. As you probably know, what he does is opens the camera shutter when the theatre starts showing the film and then closes the shutter when it ends. Imagine if they made a film of your own life from birth to death. The resulting image would be condensed in to one ethereal glowing light. I think there's something quite profound about that.
I must admit I had never heard of him but like the context. I had a look at the piece...if he indeed opened the shutter upon start and closed it when ending, would you not see human shapes on the images then? The audience would be there 80% of the time, unless it was empty? (In which case I am happy to look stupid)
