Roots

In conjunction with the Hiroshi Sugimoto: History of History exhibition at the Asian Art Museum, CAAM and the Asian Art Museum commissioned two new works. Local filmmakers Emiko Omori and Michael Kinomoto created two distinct and beautiful films exploring memory, roots and collections.

About her piece, Emiko Omori states, "Getting into the mind of Hiroshi Sugimoto - just a little - was an amazing experience, its breadth breathtaking, its depth profound. His interest in beginnings: of photography, of the earth itself and his collection of antiquities brought to mind my own modest collection of antiquities and the beginnings of Japanese American history."
