‘One New York night in 1980, during another of my question-and-answer sessions, I asked myself, “Can someone today view a scene just as primitive man might have?”. . .Although the land is forever changing its form, the sea, I thought, is immutable. Thus began my travels back through time to the ancient seas of the world.’
Hiroshi Sugimoto (Washington, D. C.: Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, 2006), p. 109
