Lot Essay

"My work does represent human beings, though not in an obvious way. But I don't want to have any human image in my pictues, people are present through the traces they left behind. In the movie theaters I am actually photographing people - many, many people - all the hundreds of thousands of people that appear in the movie. It's just that they are all overexposed and disappear into the whiteness." (In 'Sugimoto', Madrid 1998, p. 16.)
