Radio City Music Hall 1978

"Radio City Music Hall" is a striking black and white photograph by Hiroshi Sugimoto, captured in 1978. The image showcases the iconic New York City venue's stage, with its blank screen illuminated from behind, creating a stark contrast against the darkened auditorium. The empty seats, stretching back into the distance, suggest a timeless space waiting to be filled with the magic of performance. This photograph exemplifies Sugimoto's signature style of long exposure photography, capturing the essence of theaters and historical spaces in a minimalist and thought-provoking way.
