HIROSHI SUGIMOTO. IN PRAISE OF SHADOWS

This artist’s book, in Praise of Shadows from Japanese artist and photographer Sugimoto, explores the image of the candle flame and the shadow it casts. Based on an installation in which the artist created seemingly uniform, but slightly different transparent images of candle flames and then projected them onto a wall with the light of actual, other candle flames — this book conjures a meditation on that most poetic of symbols

pp. 48; hardcover. Publisher: Korinsha Press, Kyoto, 1999.
