Hiroshi Sugimoto: Architecture
The latest in Damiani and MW Editions' Sugimoto project collects his majestic images of classic modernist buildingsIn 1997, Hiroshi Sugimoto (born 1948) began a series of photographs of significant works of modernist architecture, intending "to trace the beginnings of our age via architecture." One of the hallmarks of Sugimoto's work is his technical mastery of the medium. In making the Architecture photographs, however, he inverted his usual process: "Pushing out my old large-format camera's focal length to twice-infinity ... He makes photographs exclusively with an 8 x 10 view camera, and his silver gelatin prints are renowned for their tonal range, total lack of grain, wealth of detail and overall optical precision.
Thus I began erosion-testing architecture for I discovered that superlative architecture survives the onslaught of blurred photography.
