Quote from Parkett
‘Maybe I am already half dead.’—Hiroshi Sugimoto. I am almost inclined to take Hiroshi Sugimoto at his word. Since 1976 he has been elaborating on three basic themes—dioramas, movie theatres, and seascapes—and almost every picture shares the same quiet morbidity, as if all his prints had been developed in embalming fluid.”
