Abstract: 
The Japanese-American photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto started out as an artist in 1975 with a series of photographs titled Dioramas. This article attempts to identify the precise context in which Sugimoto conceived this series and invented himself as an artist. It also studies the principle of ani-mation that characterizes the photographs, and establishes the photographic medium as the arena in which fundamental questions concerning art and artists are examined. The article states that photography was central to Sugimotos attempt to establish himself as an artist on the East Coast of the United States because the medium denies its own existence and can therefore be termed trans- cultural.
