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.
"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"""
