Hiroshi Sugimoto: Extinction — event in Tokyo

Hiroshi Sugimoto: Extinction

About this event

What this is

A major retrospective exhibition of Hiroshi Sugimoto's gelatin silver photography spanning from the late 1970s to the present day. The exhibition features approximately 60 works organized into three thematic chapters: 'Time, Light and Memory,' 'Conceptual Forms,' and 'Extinction.' The show examines Sugimoto's evolving artistic vision while acknowledging the medium of silver gelatin photography itself as it faces obsolescence in the digital age. The exhibition includes new works being shown for the first time and is accompanied by a parallel satellite exhibition in the MOMAT Collection Gallery.

Who should go

Photography enthusiasts and contemporary art lovers will find this retrospective essential viewing, particularly those interested in analog processes and conceptual photography. The exhibition appeals to visitors who appreciate meditative, technically masterful work that engages with themes of time, memory, and impermanence. Arrive early to allow sufficient time to view both the main exhibition and the satellite show in the Collection Gallery.
