WITH--Hiroshi Sugimoto. U.A. Walker, New York. Photogravure, the image measuring 11x14 1/2 inches (27.9x36.8 cm.), the sheet 17 1/4x21 1/4 inches (43.8x53.9 cm.), with Sugimoto's signature, in pencil, on recto; housed in the aluminum case and sealed in the publisher's box. 1978; printed 2000
The photogravure is housed in a piano-hinged, brushed aluminum case and remains sealed in the original publisher's box, which bears a label and the edition number 195/1000.
These "shining screens," as Sugimoto described them, are the result of a single exposure made for the duration of a feature-length movie. The result is both a brilliant representation of architecture and light, and an elegant meditation on time and experience.
