This luxurious, silk-bound limited edition was published in an edition of 400 signed and numbered copies, Snow White is a unique collector's edition book containing 76 artworks by Hiroshi Sugimoto (born 1948). All of the photographs in Snow White are from his Theaters series and include many of his well-known photographs of classic movie palaces and drive-ins, along with new photographs of Italian opera houses and abandoned theaters. To make these images, he opens the shutter inside the dark theater (or in the case of the drive-ins, outside at night) for the duration of the movie. The running movie is the only source of light bringing out the architectural details of these spaces. 

In this book, Sugimoto reveals for the first time the movies that were screened when he took these photographs and the exposure time of each photograph. The black-and-white photographs are hand-tipped onto the pages and when lifted, beneath each artwork is printed the name of the movie, its running time and a short text about each phot is written by Sugimoto.
