Hiroshi Sugimoto was born in Japan in 1948. A photographer since the 1970s, his work deals with history and temporal existence by investigating themes of time, empiricism, and metaphysics. His primary series include: Seascapes, Theaters, Dioramas, Portraits (of Madame Tussaud’s wax figures), Architecture, Colors of Shadow, Conceptual Forms and Lightning Fields. Sugimoto has received a number of grants and fellowships, and his work is held in the collections of the Tate Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and the Metropolitan Museum of New York, among many others. Portraits, initially created for the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin, traveled to the Guggenheim New York in March 2001. Sugimoto received the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography in 2001. In 2006, a mid career retrospective was organized by the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. and the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo. A monograph entitled Hiroshi Sugimoto was produced in conjunction with the exhibition. He received the Photo España prize, also in 2006, and in 2009 was the recipient of the Paemium Imperiale, Painting Award from the Japan Arts Association. Most recently, Sugimoto unveiled his “Glass Tea House Mondrian” at Le Stanze del Vetro on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore during the 2014 Venice Biennale.

Photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto (Japanese, b.1948) is known for his explorations of the illusionary properties of photography. Born in Tokyo, Sugimoto initially studied politics and sociology at St. Paul’s University in Tokyo, but in 1970 he enrolled at the Art Center College of Art and Design in Los Angeles to study Fine Art. He subsequently moved to New York, where he established himself as a photographer interested in the representation of reality. Influenced by Dada and Surrealist techniques and aesthetics, Sugimoto photographed movie and opera houses, natural history dioramas, and wax figures, using long exposures to create eerie scenes with unnatural lighting. Sugimoto is also a practicing architect and has designed specific spaces to exhibit his photography; his interest in architecture is also evident in his numerous photographs of old buildings. His work is highly esteemed and has been shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, among other institutions. He has also received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Sugimoto currently divides his time between Tokyo and New York. He is represented by many galleries such as The Pace Gallery and the Gagosian Gallery.

Hiroshi Sugimoto nació en Japón en 1948 y es fotógrafo desde 1970. Su obra se centra en la historia y la existencia temporal. Paisajes marinos, teatros, dioramas, retratos (de figuras de cera Madame Tussaud) y la arquitectura están entre sus muchos temas. Sugimoto ha recibido varias becas y ayudas, y su trabajo está presente en las colecciones de la Tate Gallery, el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Chicago y el Metropolitan Museum de Nueva York, entre otros muchos.

Después de fotografiar el Museo Americano de Historia Natural a finales de los 70, en 1982, y en 1994, Hiroshi Sugimoto ha vuelto a los dioramas. Ahora se centra en escenas de plantas y de árboles que predominarían en el mundo después de que los seres humanos desaparecieran y en los animales que hace mucho que han desaparecido . El New York Times habló con Sugimoto sobre estas nuevas imágenes:

-“A lo mejor es mi edad “, dijo durante una entrevista en su estudio. “Estoy empezando a tener una visión muy a largo plazo.” Él hizo un gesto por la ventana a los rascacielos de Manhattan. “Dentro de 100 años, si no estuviéramos aquí, toda la ciudad empezaría a parecerse a un bosque de nuevo. ‘-Hiroshi Sugimoto

Esa idea es la que ha impulsado a este aclamado fotografo a volver a los museos. Os dejamos con unas imágenes de dioramas de sus anteriores trabajos, un pequeño vídeo sobre su trabajo y un link a la extensa entrevista realizada por el New York Times.

Hiroshi Sugimoto nasceu em Tóquio em 1948. Em 1970 ele se mudou para Los Angeles e estudou fotografia no Art Center College of Design. Ele mora em Nova York e Tóquio. Ele é mais conhecido por sua série fotográfica altamente estilizado de marinhas, cinemas, dioramas de história natural, cera e esculturas budistas. Estas séries provocam questões fundamentais sobre a relação da fotografia e do tempo, bem como explorar a natureza misteriosa e inefável da realidade. Nos últimos anos, o trabalho de Sugimoto tem se tornado cada vez mais concreto, ao mesmo tempo em que tornou-se notavelmente mais abstrato. Ele quebrou a partir de, ou além, ilusão fotográfica para tocar o momento de um espaço ideal prestados na fotografia. Em sua série de Arquitetura (1997-2002), ao invés de fotografar edifícios modernistas chave para elucidar suas linhas e volumes, Sugimoto turva a imagem em um esforço para capturar imagens mentais em si, mas deles não os prédios.
