Magical images that defy time from the grand master of conceptual
photography. Through his expansive exploration of the possibilities
of still images, the internationally renowned artist and
photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto has created some of the most
alluringly enigmatic photographs of our time; pictures that are
meticulously crafted and deeply thought-provoking, familiar yet
tantalisingly ambiguous. Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine is a
comprehensive survey of work produced over the past five decades,
featuring selections from all of Sugimoto’s major photographic
series, as well as lesser-known works that illuminate his
innovative, conceptually-driven approach to making pictures. Texts
by a collection of international writers, artists and scholars -
including Geoffrey Batchen, Edmund de Waal, Mami Kataoka, Ralph
Rugoff, Lara Strongman and Margaret Wertheim - will highlight his
work’s philosophical yet playful inquiry into the nature of
representation and art, our understanding of time and memory, and
the paradoxical character of photography as a medium suited to both
documenting and invention.
But as science commentator Margaret Wertheim argues in this
"marvelously provocative" (Kirkus Reviews) book, cyberspace has in
recent years become a repository for immense spiritual yearning.
Wertheim explores the mapping of spiritual desire onto digitized
space and suggests that the modem today has become a metaphysical
escape-hatch from a materialism that many people find increasingly
dissatisfying. Cyberspace opens up a collective space beyond the
laws of physics a space where mind rather than matter reigns. This
strange refuge returns us to an almost medieval dualism between a
physical space of body and an immaterial space of mind and psyche."
