(London and New York: Phaidon, 2004).] From the publisher: "This book is the first-ever [major] collection of Hiroshi Sugimoto's 'Theater' photographs. 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.'. Bookseller Inventory # 101270

Between 1976 and 1999, Sugimoto photographed inside movie theatres, opening the aperture at the start of the film and clicking it shut at the end. The resulting images show a powerful glow of white light that dominates and illuminates the surrounding theatre. The shots here progress from the opulent theatres of old, featuring velvet curtains, stage, and lavish architecture, to drive-ins and modern theatres. In each, the tone of the movie revealed itself in the quality of the light. The Artist says, "Different movies give different brightnesses. 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." In this way, Sugimoto has managed to capture in a single shot an extended period of time, during which thousands of images are presented, thus harnessing the power of all that visual stimuli in the simple form of light, contained by the frame of the theatre itself.
