Field Notes:

light as horizon · time as material · stillness as duration

Defining Moment:

Early 1970s — light as horizon; perception became space

Hiroshi Sugimoto

(

b. 1948

)

Sugimoto built a world between time and distance.

His seascapes and theaters compress centuries into a single exposure — perception treated as monument.

‍

In his world, photography is architecture for seeing.

Structural Focus

Time as Material

Duration, aging, fading, accumulation, or delay is integral to the work. Form unfolds rather than presents itself immediately.

In Hiroshi Sugimoto’s work, this approach appears where long exposure compresses duration into stillness.

Position

Time as Material

Duration, aging, fading, accumulation, or delay is integral to the work. Form unfolds rather than presents itself immediately.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Space is structured through openings, intervals, and boundary conditions.

Atmosphere accumulates through calibrated light, tone, and spatial pacing.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Light and Space

Perception is shaped through light, volume, and environmental conditions.
