Description:

112 pp., illustrations. Ex-library. apparent ex-library book: blank sticker on dust jacket spine, first blank page (FFEP) torn out, abrasions on last blank page (possibly from library pocket removal); corners bumped, small hole on last blank page. For more than 20 years Japanese-born photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto has photographed and transformed reality in distinctive, carefully composed series of images. Using a large-format camera, he achieves a wide range of tones and effects in a body of work that reflects his fascination with the paradoxes of time, his great love of detail and his technical mastery. This book presents an eclectic range of his duotone photographs. Spanning his entire career, it contains examples from his three major series of works, collections that have been built over many years: photographs of museum dioramas and wax museum figures that emphasize the timelessness of these frozen deceptively lifelike moments, meditative, monochromatic seascapes and time-lapse photographs of old-fashioned theatres. The images are complemented by an interview with Sugimoto himself and an essay by contemporary art historian Thomas Kellein. Seller Inventory # ABE.0004075

About this title:

Synopsis: For more than twenty years Japanese-born photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto has photographed and transformed reality in distinctive, carefully composed series of images. Using a large-format camera, he achieves a wide range of tones and effects in a body of work that reflects his fascination with the paradoxes of time, his great love of detail and his incredible technical mastery.
This beautifully printed book contains examples from his three major series of works, collections that have been built over many years: photographs of museum dioramas and wax museum figures that emphasize the timelessness of these frozen, deceptively lifelike moments; meditative, monochromatic seascapes; and time-lapse photographs of luxurious, old-fashioned theaters and minimalist drive-ins. An interview with Sugimoto, and an essay by Thomas Kellein lend insight and understanding to this remarkable photographer's work.
