Sugimoto was fascinated by these displays of stuffed animals before painted backdrops and false foliage. In 1976 spent many eveningsat the merican Museum of Natural History, New York, using his old fashioned large format wooden box camera to photograph the exhibits. Sugimoto was drawn to take pictures of the dioramas not by a desire to merely document them, but to deceive. More specifically, he wanted to explore how in photographs the dead can seemingly come back to life.. VG : in very good condition with dust jacket. Sm chip to front cover .
