Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine

Text by James Attlee, Geoffrey Batchen, Allie Biswas, David Chipperfield, Edmund de Waal, Mami Kataoka, Ralph Rugoff, Lara Strongman, Margaret Wertheim.

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine

A new, comprehensive survey of Sugimoto’s five-decade career, from grand dioramas and seascapes to eerie portraits of wax effigies and more

Through his expansive exploration of the possibilities of still images, Hiroshi Sugimoto has created some of the most alluringly enigmatic photographs of our time—pictures that are meticulously crafted and deeply thought-provoking, familiar yet tantalizingly ambiguous. Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine is a comprehensive survey of work produced over the past five decades, featuring selections from all of Sugimoto’s major series, as well as lesser-known works that illuminate his innovative, conceptually driven approach to making pictures.
Texts by international writers, artists and scholars?including Geoffrey Batchen, Edmund de Waal, Mami Kataoka, Ralph Rugoff, Lara Strongman and Margaret Wertheim?highlight his work’s philosophical yet playful inquiry into the nature of representation and art, our understanding of time and memory, and the paradoxical character of photography as a medium so well suited to both documenting and invention.
Hiroshi Sugimoto (born 1948) has exhibited extensively in major museums and galleries throughout the world, and his work is held in numerous public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; National Gallery, London; National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Smithsonian, Washington, DC; and Tate, London, among others. Sugimoto divides his time between Tokyo and New York City.


PRAISE AND REVIEWS

FAD

Westall Mark

His work has stretched and rearranged concepts of time, space and light that are integral to the medium.

Guardian

Laura Cummings

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.

Guardian

Laura Cummings

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.

The New York Times: Arts

Emily LaBarge

Each body of work addresses the seen and the unseen, exterior and interior life, with deceptive simplicity.

Sugimoto’s work reminds us of the sacredness of images in a time of image over-saturation.

In Sugimoto's 'Time Machine,' the flicker of a second life

In Sugimoto's 'Time Machine,' the flicker of a second life

These days, as the widely-binged Netflix series The Crown brings the drama of the 1990s Royal Family back into the popular conversation, we couldn’t help but revisit this haunting 1999 “portrait” of Diana, Princess of Wales, from new release Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine. Published by Hatje Cantz to accompany the half-century retrospective currently on view at the Hayward Gallery, this comprehensive volume contains works from all the Japanese photographers enigmatic series, from the Dioramas, Theaters and Drive-Ins, to the Seascapes, Lightning Fields, the Portraits of wax figures and more. “When visiting the displays, we would never mistake the waxworks, however faithfully reproduced, for the real person,” Lara Strongman writes, “yet in Sugimoto’s photographs the camera has given them the flicker of a second life. The quality of stilled time bestowed on the figures by Sugimoto’s large-format camera in long exposures has re-established their historicity. We look, and look again to make sure we have understood what we have seen.… Perhaps in the absence of context and perspective the fake may be more readily mistaken for the real, but there’s more to it than that. Rather that the world is essentially an anachronous place, with everything that’s ever been thought and done by the people who came before us coexisting with everything else at once in order to have brought us here, to this moment.” continue to blog
