He has been working on his cycles of photographs for more than 30 years. The minimalist black-and-white pictures are studies in silence, clarity and emptiness. “I am not a hunter,” says Sugimoto, “I have my pictures ready in my head, and then I go out in order to implement these ideas.” Among his best-known series are his shots of natural-history showcases (“Dioramas”), empty cinemas (“Theaters”), poetic marine views (“Seascapes”) and out-of-focus architecture (“Architectures”). All the series follow a particular composition and have to do with the theme of time. They are created at a wide variety of locations world-wide. Sugimoto combines technical precision with great conceptual ambition. He is a modern traditionalist, who to this day works with a late-19th-century large-format camera. Every shot is planned exactly, printed by hand and laboriously retouched.
