Hiroshi Sugimoto — Draken, Göteborg
Hiroshi Sugimoto

Draken, Göteborg

A hauntingly luminous gelatin silver print by Hiroshi Sugimoto capturing a movie theater's interior bathed in the ethereal glow of a collapsed exposure, where an entire film's duration is condensed into a single blinding rectangle of light. The Draken cinema in Göteborg, Sweden, is rendered in Sugimoto's signature long-exposure technique, dissolving the architectural details into deep, velvety shadows that frame the radiant screen. The image evokes themes of time, memory, and the cinematic experience, blurring the boundary between presence and disappearance.
