This image is from Sugimoto’s famous series depicting the result of maintaining an exposure that lasted for the duration of the movie that was being projected onto the drive-in screen. The projected light causes the screen to render as pure white in this photography, while the light reflected off of the screen illuminates the immediate night-time surroundings. the exposure of the photograph lasted for the duration of the film.

This print was purchased from the 1995 exhibition at the York University Art Gallery.
