Summary:
Hiroshi Sugimoto turns his lens on Italy's architectural masterworks to create a meditation on the potential of cultural exchange and the possibility of cultural fusion. In 1585, four Japanese youths appeared before Pope Gregory XIII, summoned to his court from the nascent Christian community in Japan to present themselves at the capital of their faith. Sugimoto follows in the boys' footsteps, capturing the architectural wonders of Rome, Florence, and Venice. Sugimoto's images present each chapel and theater as a marvel, imposing and dark. He contextualizes his photographs with Japanese works from the period and the decades that follow. These panels and objects attest to the impact of Western culture, specifically Jesuit Christianity, on Momoyama and Edo aesthetics as Japanese artists envisioned scenes of European life.

Summary:
The series by Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto are characterized by matchless clarity and presence. His works are always an absolute embodiment of his chosen visual motif, reduced to its essence. Our monograph is the first to feature works selected from all of the series produced to date - including, of course, his most famous: Sugimoto's celebrated portraits of wax figures seem to face up to their living audiences; his "Seascapes" show us nothing less than a person's first conscious view of the ocean; the extremely long exposures of "Theaters" elevate the white, luminescent cinema screen, transforming it into a magical image of an altar; and the fascinating "Dioramas" - photographs of scientific display cases - allow us to travel with the artist far into the past to observe extinct animal species or the daily life of early man.

In the 1930s the Russian avant-garde project was declared alien and harmful to the work of building socialism, and much of it ended up in storage. For many years thereafter, socialist realism was the established style in the country. Only in the second half of the 1950s did artists of the new generation get the chance to see works by the heroes of the avant-garde, igniting a new phase in the development of the original ideas of Malevich, Tatlin and El Lissitzky.

Summary:
Pour sa onzième édition d’art contemporain, le château de Versailles a invité l’artiste protéiforme Hiroshi Sugimoto à investir le domaine de Trianon où il a convié art, photographie, sculpture, architecture, vidéo et spectacle vivant. À cette occasion, il a réalisé près de 20 portraits en noir et blanc inédits, allant de Louis XIV à Dalí, de Marie-Antoinette à Lady Diana, à partir de leur statue de cire. Les statues ont pris vie grâce au travail photographique de l’artiste. Des textes d’Hiroshi Sugimoto nous dévoilent un peu plus le regard contemporain qu’il porte sur Versailles et sur ses œuvres. Une maison de thé en verre, imaginée par Sugimoto, trône au centre du bassin du Plat-fond. Les dessins d’architectures de la maison de thé et des photographies en couleurs des différentes performances qui y ont eu lieu viennent compléter cet ouvrage. En cette année « Japonismes 2018 : les âmes en résonances », Hiroshi Sugimoto illustre ainsi à Versailles qui les a souvent symbolisés, les liens culturels entre le Japon et la France.

Summary:
Water and air. So very commonplace are these substances, they hardly attract attentionand yet they vouchsafe our very existence. The beginnings of life are shrouded in myth: Let there water and air. Living phenomena spontaneously generated from water and air in the presence of light, though that could just as easily suggest random coincidence as a Deity. Let's just say that there happened to be a planet with water and air in our solar system, and moreover at precisely the right distance from the sun for the temperatures required to coax forth life. While hardly inconceivable that at least one such planet should exist in the vast reaches of universe, we search in vain for another similar example.

Summary:
Hiroshi Sugimoto has explored ideas of time, empiricism and metaphysics through a surreal and formalistic approach since the 1970s. A self-described "habitual self-interlocutor," Sugimoto uses the camera as a bridge between abstract questions and the quiet, comical nature of modern everyday life. This new project presents a survey of Sugimoto’s iconic work, from his calm seascapes to his more recent exploration of lightning fields and photogenic drawing.
