Materializing the Invisible


"Art resides even in things
with no artistic intentions.
...
Photography is making a copy of reality,
but when it is photographed twice
it goes back to the reality again.
That is my theory.
...
Art is technique: a means by which
to materialize the invisible
realm of the mind.
...
Photography is like a found object.
A photographer never makes an actual subject;
they just steal the image from the world…
Photography is a system of saving memories.
It’s a time machine, in a way,
to preserve the memory,
to preserve time.
...
I’m inviting the spirits
into my photography.
It’s an act of God."

- Hiroshi Sugimoto (1948 - )
