" Doesn't art serve to collect what passes through the cracks, now that scientific knowledge has got rid of a god? "
Hiroshi Sugimoto is a contemporary Japanese artist whose practice encompasses photography, architecture, installation, performance. Hiroshi Sugimoto's work consists of different thematic series that combine technical perfection and conceptual visions. By playing with the realistic postulates of photography, his work addresses in particular the theme of the passage of time. His predilection for black and white, available in countless shades, transfigures photographed objects - seas, theaters, and museum dioramas - into visions suspended between a lyrical and metaphysical dimension.
