Catalogue Note

"All the details and all the mistakes disappear; there’s a lot of shadows, melting. If the building is successfully done, then it will remain strong even out of focus. Again, it’s a minimalist approach, taking away all the details but being left with a very strong vision.” - Hiroshi Sugimoto ("The Sleepless Photographer: Interview with Martin Herbert", Eyestorm, 2000)
