Hiroshi Sugimoto, “Movie Theatre,Canton Palace, Ohio, 1980”
Sugimoto is a Japanese photographer who really thinks outside of the box, and that box has a lens, and is called a camera. He creates a variety of interesting bodies of work, however I choose this one because of its simplicity and conceptual stance on photography… To explain this image I’ll let his words tell the tale of how the project began: “Dressed up as a tourist, I walked into a cheap cinema in the East Village with a large-format camera. As soon as the movie started, I fixed the shutter at a wide-open aperture, and two hours later when the movie finished, I clicked the shutter closed. That evening, I developed the film, and the vision exploded behind my eyes.” This photograph is an entire movie in one single frame, exposing the beautiful theater is was shown in.
