Hiroshi Sugimoto's work since the 1970s delves into themes of time, empiricism, and metaphysics through surreal, formalistic photography. His projects include photographing Madame Tussauds wax figures, wildlife scenes at the American Museum of Natural History, and capturing films in single exposures, exploring consumerism, narrative, and existence. This book surveys Sugimoto's iconic works, from serene seascapes to recent lightning field explorations. It supports an exhibition at Fundación Mapfre, Spain, and features an introduction and essay by Philip Larratt-Smith, an interview with Sugimoto, and text by artist Iran do Espírito Santo.
