HIROSHI SUGIMOTO

Hiroshi Sugimoto (born in Tokyo Japan in 1947) is a Japanese artist and photographer. Since the 1970s he integrated performance and architecture to his multidisciplinary practice.  When he first arrived in New York in 1974, I visited many of the city's tourist sites, one of which was the the American Museum of Natural History” I made a curious discovery while looking at the exhibition of animal dioramas: the stuffed animals positioned before painted backdrops looked utterly fake, yet by taking a quick peek with one eye closed, all perspective vanished,and  suddenly they looked very real. I had found a way to see the world as a camera does” .
