Four photographs from Hiroshi Sugimoto’s “Theatre” series. Sugimoto: “One evening I had a near-hallucinatory vision. Suppose you shoot a whole movie in a single frame? And the answer: You get a shining screen. 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.”
