About The Work
The highly stylized photographs of Hiroshi Sugimoto are characterized by their romantic, ephemeral air—capturing Modernist architecture, seascapes, wax works and Buddhist sculpture in richly detailed series. In Mechanical Form 0046, Material Testing Machine Sugimoto explores the mysterious nature of time, reality and experience, creating a cinematic narrative from a single, classically structured image. Creating under the idea of photography as a time machine, or mechanism for creating and solidifying memory, Sugimoto’s industrial machine evokes the face of a clock.
