Press Release

Hiroshi Sugimoto’s third solo exhibition at Lisson marks a resonant return to New York, tracing a fifty-year dialogue between the artist and the city that helped shape his vision. Featuring new photographs from the artist’s Diorama series, created this past year through rare access to unseen displays at the American Museum of Natural History, Sugimoto returns to the body of work that first revealed his extraordinary ability to suspend both time and reality. Alongside these works, new washi paper screens transform his images into luminous byōbu, merging sculptural presence with immersive pictorial depth. Together, these bodies of work affirm Sugimoto’s enduring mastery of perception, artifice and the poetic boundaries of lens-based media.

About the Artist

Through photography, sculpture, architecture and performance, Hiroshi Sugimoto manipulates the inexorable march of time and the vast mysteries of space, stalling the clock in order to create monumental forms from historically significant or fleetingly poetic moments. By approaching the artificial with an eye for the natural, in his realistic photographs of museum dioramas or waxworks, and vice versa, in his images of buildings or interiors that seem to melt all that is solid, Sugimoto proves his mastery as one of the world’s greatest artists and innovators of lens-based media. This concept-driven approach begins with the ideation of an image and is only completed upon the work’s execution, usually employing a large-format camera as his primary tool.
