Catalogue Note
"A sea memory, I am quite sure that it's a memory of the sea. Not a cloud in the sky, a sharp-edged horizon, waves surging in endlessly from beyond. When I saw that vista, it was as if something in my infant consciousness awakened from a long dream. I looked around at my hands and feet. And then I seemed to be looking down on myself from above. As if I were there merged into that seascape. My life began from that moment."
Hiroshi Sugimoto, "Noh such Thing as Time", Hiroshi Sugimoto, Architecture of Time, Eckhard Schneider ed., 2002, p.79
