Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Hiroshi Sugimoto, from the "Memory" episode in Season 3 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Memory" premiered in September 2005 on PBS.

Sugimoto recalls the influence of Marcel Duchamp on his art, and especially on his own exhibition where he has mounted giant white plinths with photographs of 19th-century machines. These are juxtaposed with images of three-dimensional models that illustrate mathematical theories.

Hiroshi Sugimoto was born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1948, and lives and works in New York and Tokyo. Learn more about the artists at: https://art21.org/artist/hiroshi-sugimoto
