Hiroshi Sugimoto - "True artists are strange!"

THIS VIDEO: Hiroshi Sugimoto's work is quiet and open-ended and it fuses Invention, philosophy, history with documentary photography. To really appreciate his work one has to slow down, breathe out and get oneself into a contemplative space. His process of creating work is complex and in order to appreciate it, one has to allow time for the communication to occur. For su-ji-moto and the viewer this work is a process of discovery rather than a document of fact. He immerses himself in the process of building a series of photographs and explores his themes in the manner that is more similar to a poet or a scientist. His work involves questions about the human condition, meaning and he is fascinated by the mysteries of time.
