Absolutely love his work, a total inspiration for me. Thanks for sharing. I’ve seen some of the work in person in New York City and yes it’s wonderful to see up close, and not on a digital screen.
Sounds fascinating and is that Graham Young - the teacup poisoner - I see? Went to quite a contrast in photography exhibitions myself yesterday at Newcastle's Laing Gallery. First Chris Killip's 'Last Ships' and then 'Yevonde: Life and Colour'. I'll probably offer a meander on the stark contrast between the exhibitions at some point but they both in a very different way mark the passing of two elements of society.
So good, Andrew! You are fortunate to experience his retrospective.Someday, I hope it'll make its way here at SFMoma. I did get a treat here in San Francisco when his calligraphy using photographic materials was exhibited at Fraenkel Gallery. https://fraenkelgallery.com/exhibitions/hiroshi-sugimoto-2023 Happy New year to you!
I love Sugimoto’s totally unique approach and vision, a true master. Would love to visit his Enouara musem too - such a meticulously designed space, a perfect extension of his photo practice.
Thanks for this. I'm not familiar with Hiroshi Sugimoto's work. As I won't be able to see the exhibition, I'll have to see what I can find online and in print (I see there is a catalogue). It's a nice counter to the speed at which we consume images these days — almost as fast as our cameras can capture them. Maybe this is slow photography (if that's a thing).
I just love his work and extraordinary Vision. Pushing the form, the chemistry, the limitations and entryways to sheer raw experience, memory and sensation. Cracking the code on Beauty, Art, The Image and what can be seen. Then burning it up to reveal what can be known. Cheers, Peace & Art from the New England area, US.

I only recently discovered his work and the exhibition looks amazing. So glad you got to see it, Andrew. Your photos of it are excellent.
This is an exhibition I would love to see. In lieu of being on the other side of the Atlantic, thanks for sharing Andrew!
