A Place for Everything

July 2014

Hiroshi Sugimoto’s meticulous oeuvre
Referring to two major projects by Hiroshi Sugimoto that are currently being exhibited, DAMn° takes a detailed look at what the works say about the artist. The pavilion in Venice, open to visitors in parallel with the Architecture Biennale, is pleasurable to behold, offering a rich, serene experience. At the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, contrarily, the space is filled with many and various sorts of displays. Both expos are saturated with meaning. Between the two, Sugimoto’s greatest passions are revealed.
