This week I thought I would take a little break from the artist series I was doing to feature a photographer named Hiroshi Sugimoto.
Hiroshi Sugimoto was born in 1948 in Japan. He has been a photographer since he was in high school. Throughout his career he has mainly worked in black and white. He states that his work looks at or tries to express the transience of life. He says it is about the conflict between life and death.
In 1976 he started working on his Diorama series:
By 1978 he had moved on to photographing drive-in and state theatres with the screens glowing white:
1980 marked the beginning of his Seascapes series. These photographs are so transient and transparent that they are mesmerizing:
In more recent years Sugimoto has done some exciting work with his Lightning Field Series:
