Alberto Giacometti / Hiroshi Sugimoto

Résumé
“In 2013 the Museum of Modern Art in New York commissioned me to photograph their sculpture garden. Among the many famous pieces there, a Giacometti sculpture was the first to catch my eye. The form is extenuated – as if all the flesh had been scraped off a human body – while what remains successfully expresses the condition of being in extremis. This sculpture of Giacometti had already achieved what I set out to achieve with my own approach to photography.
Noh is about dead souls coming back to life and becoming visible. Photographing Giacometti gave me the sense of watching a Noh drama, because in Noh the past is reborn as the present.”
