Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine

Each body of work addresses the seen and the unseen, exterior and interior life, with deceptive simplicity.–Emily LaBarge “The New York Times: Arts”
Sugimoto’s work reminds us of the sacredness of images in a time of image over-saturation.–AX Mina “Hyperallergic”
Records made in and of time, these images nonetheless float free of their given moment, showing us what the world looked like before we existed, as it seems, and perhaps even what it will look like when we are no longer there.–Laura Cummings “Guardian”
His work has stretched and rearranged concepts of time, space and light that are integral to the medium.–Westall Mark “FAD”
Wonder is at the heart of it: a wonder at nature, man and creature, all through time, but also at the strangeness of photography itself. For these are pictures of what photographs may also be - the half-caught memory, the ghost in the machine, the shadow in time’s eye.–Laura Cummings “Guardian”

The enigmatic works of Japanese photographer HIROSHI SUGIMOTO (*1948, Tokyo) fundamentally questioned the understanding of photography. He studied sociology and politics in Tokyo, before moving to Los Angeles to study photography in the early 1970s. In 1974 he settled in New York, where he created his first series Dioramas. His main artistic interests include architecture, abstract forms and intangible phenomena.
