Sugimoto's latest phase of his photographic career features
blurred images of well-known architectural works, primarily
from the Modern movement of the last century, that provoke
ideas of memory, time and form. The series, collected in the
exhibition "Sugimoto: Architecture" at the Museum
of Contemporary Art in Chicago,
Illinois, is distinctly different in subject matter from his
previous studies, including a series of seascapes and a series
of figures from wax museums. While the subject matter for
each series is unique, the themes and techniques are constant.
The long-exposure images isolate the subject - be it human,
natural or man-made - and use the subtle effects of light
to dematerialize the form to its essence.
