Hiroshi Sugimoto (b. 1948) is based between Tokyo and New York City.

Working in photography since the 1970s, his multidisciplinary practice includes sculpture, performing arts production, and architecture.

His works, such as this immensely dark seascape loaned by Axel Veervordt Gallery, explore history and temporal existence by investigating themes of time, empiricism, and metaphysics.

Sugimoto’s photographs are in the collections of prominent museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, The Tate and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.
