Hiroshi Sugimoto's “Time Exposed” from 1991 is an outstanding work of art, notable for the sophistication of its aesthetics and its conceptual depth. The Japanese master photographer uses an old plate camera and creates unique images by means of exceptionally long exposure times. This portfolio reflects his “Seascapes” series, produced from the late 1970s, and demonstrates his ability to capture water and sky in almost abstract compositions in which time seems to stand still. “Although the land is constantly changing shape, the sea is unchanging, I thought. So, my journeys began back through time to the ancient seas of the world,” observes the erudite Sugimoto. His notes reveal a deep understanding of the essence of his art, informed by its dialectical character. The sea, constantly changing and yet unchanged, serves as a fitting metaphor for the complexity of time: a web of relativity and inscrutability that can only be deciphered through abstract formulas and personal experience.
Photography, deeply rooted in the entanglements of time, proves to be the ideal medium for conveying Sugimoto's artistic visions. Through his lens, ever-changing natural scenes are transformed into timeless tableaux.
Apart from a lithograph with an architectural motif, which emphasises the thematic diversity of this artist's work, the portfolio is dominated by spectacular seascapes. The offset printing technique enables Sugimoto to reproduce precisely the fine nuances of his black and white photographs.
