Hiroshi Sugimoto Quotes

The 1,000 Buddha, to me, is almost like a contemporary art piece Picture Quote #1

My art has gained some high value Picture Quote #1

Life is one passage and then you keep moving into another state Picture Quote #1

Life is one passage and then you keep moving into another state. It’s like you might be reborn, but the process of being born you won’t remember - the same way that the dying process is a slow movement from consciousness to unconsciousness Picture Quote #1

When I wake up I just make it happen. My dreams come true- that is the artistic practice Picture Quote #1

[I’m concerned with] aesthetics and this idea of how the passage between life and death goes. I can visually present that by borrowing this Buddhist statue Picture Quote #1

Not any particular religion or school of religion, but being an artist, you have to be spiritual, in a way Picture Quote #1

I don’t love the postmodern statement: You shouldn’t be spiritual if you are the artist Picture Quote #1

It’s pre-photography, a fossilization of time, Americans have done the Zen garden to death. I wanted to do something different Picture Quote #1

However fake the subject, once photographed, it’s as good as real Picture Quote #1

Art resides even in things with no artistic intentions Picture Quote #1

To me photography functions as a fossilization of time Picture Quote #1

I try to never be satisfied; this way I will always be challenging my spirit Picture Quote #1

Art is technique: a means by which to materialize the invisible realm of the mind Picture Quote #1

Mystery of mysteries, water and air are right there before us in the sea. Every time I view the sea, I feel a calming sense of security, as if visiting my ancestral home; I embark on a voyage of seeing Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Fossils work almost the same way as photography as a record of history. The accumulation of time and history becomes a negative of the image. And this negative comes off, and the fossil is the positive side. This is the same as the action of photography Picture Quote #1

One night I had an idea while I was at the movies: to photograph the film itself. I tried to imagine photographing an entire feature film with my camera. I could already picture the projection screen making itself visible as a white rectangle. In my imagination, this would appear as a glowing, white rectangle; it would come forward from the projection surface and illuminate the entire theater. This idea struck me as being very interesting, mysterious, and even religious Picture Quote #1

If I already have a vision, my work is almost done. The rest is a technical problem Picture Quote #1

People have been reading photography as a true document, at the same time they are now getting suspicious. I am basically an honest person, so I let the camera capture whatever it captures whether you believe it or not is up to you; it’s not my responsibility, blame my camera, not me Picture Quote #1
