Hiroshi Sugimoto: Black Box

From February 19, 2016, Casa Garriga i Nogués in Barcelona will host “Black Box” an exhibition of works by Japanese photographer, Hiroshi Sugimoto. The exhibition provides a journey through some of his most famous series and invites us to learn about the work that the artist is working on right now; it includes 39 large prints, showing the last forty years of the artist’s work.

This multidisciplinary artist, based in New York since the ’70s, works with sculptures, architecture, installation and photography, and is considered to be one of the most important international artists in the last field.

Overall, the work of Hiroshi Sugimoto is a profound meditation on the nature of perception, illusion, representation, life and death. His works are characterized by great visual beauty and high technical virtuosity, especially considering that the Japanese photographer rejects the digital technology and uses traditional methods. Overall, we can say that the work of Hiroshi Sugimoto is a profound reflection on the nature of perception, illusion, representation, life and death.
