Active in the field of architecture\u2014most notably with the Enoura Observatory in Odawara\u2014he has also staged classical Japanese performing arts in Europe, the United States and Japan. Calligraphy, ceramics, waka poetry, cooking\u2014his range is extensive. However, the point of origin for all Sugimoto\u2019s art is gelatin silver photography. Based on rigorous conceptual thinking and originality of expression, Sugimoto\u2019s photographic works stand at the very pinnacle of gelatin silver technique. But now, as film makes way for digital, the gelatin silver process itself is endangered and at real risk of \u201cextinction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exhibition will feature approximately 60 gelatin silver photographs from Sugimoto\u2019s early days in the late 1970s all the way up to the present day. It is the large-scale solo exhibition of Sugimoto\u2019s photographs to be held in Japan since his 2005 exhibition at the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;A satellite exhibition featuring all of Sugimoto\u2019s works from the museum\u2019s own collection along with the Sugimoto Notebooks\u00b9 which reveal the secrets of his process, will be held in parallel in the MOMAT Collection Gallery on the museum\u2019s third floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note 1: The Sugimoto Notebooks are notebooks with jottings covering the processes for the photographing and developing of Sugimoto\u2019s works. The earliest notebooks date from the latter half of the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-01\">Exhibition Structure and Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All 13 photographic series, from Sugimoto\u2019s early days to his most recent works, arranged in three chapters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing on 13 of Hiroshi Sugimoto\u2019s photographic series, this exhibition traces the evolution of his artistic universe following a loose chronological sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chapter One: \u201cTime, Light and Memory\u201d presents the origins of Sugimoto\u2019s artistic universe through \u201cDioramas,\u201d \u201cTheaters\u201d and \u201cSeascapes.\u201d These three series, all of which were started in the 1970s and 1980s, established Sugimoto\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chapter Two: \u201cConceptual Forms\u201d presents the process of the expansion and deepening of Sugimoto\u2019s artistic universe through series such as \u201cConceptual Forms\u201d and \u201cStylized Sculpture,\u201d which were begun at the end of the 1990s and take the variety of forms produced by the human intellect and imagination as their subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chapter Three: \u201cExtinction\u201d explores Sugimoto\u2019s evolving vision of the \u201cextinction\u201d he foresees. It is composed of six series which go all the way back to the origins of soon-to-be extinct silver gelatin photography, from \u201cPre-Photography Time-Recording Device\u201d and \u201cPhotogenic Drawing\u201d to the more recent \u201cOpticks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Works Exhibited for the First Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>New additions to \u201cDioramas\u201d and \u201cSeascapes,\u201d Sugimoto\u2019s famous early series, and the later \u201cStylized Sculpture,\u201d will go on display for the first time. The addition of several new works, such as Pokot, to \u201cDioramas,\u201d Sugimoto\u2019s celebrated debut work, is of particular note. With this new configuration, a profound visual account of human history\u2014secretly conceived at the start of the series in 1975 and taking over half a century to achieve full realization\u2014will be go on show for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About \u201cExtinction\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Extinction is a theme that emerged from Sugimoto\u2019s contemplation of the imminent demise of silver gelatin media and of the imminent cessation of his own activities as an artist. His vision of extinction does not, however, end there. So what else is facing extinction? Look out for \u201cextinction\u201d as a theme that runs like a basso continuo throughout this exhibition surveying the entirety of Sugimoto\u2019s oeuvre, which has broadened and deepened the expressive possibilities of photography as a medium over the last half century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-10\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column

id=\"section-02\">Biography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Born in 1948. Moved to the United States in 1970, and from 1974 started producing work while shuttling back and forth between New York and Japan. His early best-known photographic series are \u201cDioramas,\u201d\u201cSeascapes\u201d and \u201cTheaters.\u201d He founded an architectural practice, New Material Research Laboratory, in 2008, and established Odawara Art Foundation in 2009, before opening Enoura Observatory in 2017, a cultural complex that took 10 years from conception to completion. At The Hawk\u2019s Well, a dance production he directed and set-designed was performed at the Op\u00e9ra National de Paris in 2019. His publications include <em>Time Exposed<\/em>, <em>Utsutsu Na Zo<\/em>, <em>Origins of Art<\/em>, <em>Enoura Kitan<\/em> and <em>Kagero<\/em> <em>Nikki<\/em>. Awards include the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2001); the Praemium Imperiale for painting (2009); and the Medal with Purple Ribbon (2010). He was made an Officier de L\u2019Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in France in 2013, selected as a Person of Cultural Merit in Japan in 2017, and elected as a member of the Japan Art Academy in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-03\">Hours &amp; Admissions&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n<dl class=\"momat-dl\">\n    \n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Location<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Special Exhibition Gallery (1st floor)<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Date<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>June 16 &#8211; September 13, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Closed<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Mondays (except July 20) and July 21<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Time<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>10 am\u20135 pm (Fridays and Saturdays open until 8 pm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Last admission: 30 minutes before closing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"momat-dl__item\">\n    <dt class=\"momat-dl__heading\">Admission<\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"momat-dl__content\">\n        \n\n<p>Adults \u00a52,300 (\u00a52,100)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>College\/University Students \u00a51,200 (\u00a51,000)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High School Students \u00a5700 (\u00a5500)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>All prices include tax.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Admission in the parentheses is for advance tickets and groups of 20 people or more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Admission is free for individuals aged 15 and under, and individuals with a disability plus one companion.
