Sugimoto 'Between Sea and Sky'

Although the 13-minute interview focuses on Sugimoto's ongoing "Seascapes" series of photos, to architects he is best known for blurry photographs of such iconic buildings as Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building (which was included in the Parrish Art Museum's Image Building exhibition earlier this year). But it's the sea that drew Sugimoto to realize his first piece of architecture, the Enoura Observatory, which reaches toward the horizon through the Cor-ten tunnel he walks upon in the screenshot above. The architecture in Odawara expresses the artist's attraction to the sea, while the interview articulates the intellectual positions behind his passion.
