Hiroshi Sugimoto has long been one of my favorite photographers, so I'm always curious to see what he'll be up to next. The man is ingenious for his genuine consideration for the medium of photography. He experiments with how photography interacts with other elements in the world - the show at Fraenkel Gallery looks to be another advancement into this realm. To create the photos, Sugimoto sent electrical currents through sheets of film. What we see is a documentation: visual evidence of that electricity. The photos have the same timeless beauty & search for truth that I find in the Seascapes, while including a scientific curiosity of light and time that is more present in the Theater work. I'm in love.
