History of History. The artist is best known for his photographic series of empty movie theaters and drive-ins, seascapes, dioramas and wax museums. This show juxtaposes Sugimoto's exquisitely minimalist works, selected from the photographer's past and most recent series, with fossils, artworks and religious artifacts ranging from prehistoric to the 15th century, all drawn from his own collection. The result is an extended exploration of time, life and spirituality as perceived in the contexts of nature and history.
