© Hiroshi Sugimoto http://www.sugimotohiroshi.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshi_Sugimoto Hiroshi Sugimoto (杉本博司, Sugimoto Hiroshi), born on February 23, 1948, is a Japanese photographer currently dividing his time between Tokyo and New York City. His catalog is made up of a numbe
r of series, each having a distinct theme and similar attributes. His use of an 8×10 large-format camera and extremely long exposures have garnered Sugimoto a reputation as a photographer of the highest technical ability. He is equally acclaimed for the conceptual and philosophical aspects of his
work. Sugimoto began his work with "Dioramas" in 1976, a series in which he photographed displays in natural history museums. The cultural assumption that cameras always show us reality tricks many viewers into assuming the animals in the photos are real until they examine the pictures carefully. H
is series "Portraits", begun in 1999, is based on a similar idea. In that series, Sugimoto photographs wax figures of Henry VIII and his wives. These wax figures are based on portraits from the 1500s and when taking the picture Sugimoto attempts to recreate the lighting that would have been used by
the painter. Begun in 1978, Sugimoto's Theatres series involved photographing old American movie palaces and drive-ins, exposing the film for the duration of the entire film, the film projector providing the sole lightning. The luminescent screen in the centre of the composition, the architectural
details and the seats of the theatre are the only subjects in the photographs, and the unique lighting gives the works a surreal look, as a part of Sugimoto's attempt to reveal time in photography. Please, visit the artist's website http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_gJU5mNNA8 http://www.youtube.com/

à del fotografo è stata espressa v da lei con maestria... complimenti
é estos artistas asiaticos tienen ese contacto con el paisaje tan relacionado con el romanticismo, la horizontalidad de la composición y la consideracion de lo sublime como una forma de expresar la inmensdad del espacio ante el hombre. Parece que la diferencia contemplativa entre el romanticismo
del sXVIII y estos artistas orientales contemporaneos parte de una consideracion del vacío como algo sublime. Se podría comparar con las pinturas de C. Friedrich
Thank you so much so sharing them on this platform. I want to see them all in person now!
