Artists and scientists
Rare Books
"Since the 1960s, Kunié Sugiura has created works that challenge the conventions of traditional photography and synthesize elements of Japanese and Western aesthetics. Artists and Scientists presents work from two recent series, 'The Artist Papers' and 'The Scientist Papers', both of which consist of life-sized photograms depicting characteristic gestures, performances and actions by a variety of artists and scientists. Here Sugiura emphasizes the inherent temporal qualities of the photogram to capture events that are, as Bill Arning wrote in the catalogue for a recent survey of the artist's work, 'here/not-here and now/not-now'. For Sugiura, the photogram provides the means to capture 'identity through action' and to objectify a virtual realm in which the past is recorded through the reversal of shadows"--Publisher's description.
