"I'd say that memory and longing are themes across my entire discography. I'm a dreamer, and longing is a type of dreaming, it's like dreaming attached to memory. Dreaming is often what keeps us going, sometimes the desire for the unachievable. I'd say the unachievable is more linked to the past because we don't know what we are capable of achieving in the future, but we know we'll never be a child again, we'll never relive the feeling of teenage first love when we're older. There's something addictive for me in trying to create murky portals onto those things, it's a bit tormenting in some ways, but it can be beautiful.”

Hiroshi Sugimoto's Otherworldly Photographs of Movie Theaters

The question that Hiroshi Sugimoto asked himself in 1976 sounded a bit like a koan: What happens if you shoot a whole movie in a single frame?

“We are lucky enough to encounter [all things/ the things around us] ... we are all heartwrenchingly beautiful because we’re fragile and we are only here for a split second.”
