Welcome to "Mists of Time: The Sublime in Nature," a viewing room dedicated to the evocative work of Hiroshi Sugimoto. Known for his masterful use of light and shadow, Sugimoto captures the ephemeral beauty of natural landscapes, creating a sense of timelessness and awe.

In "Kegon Falls" (1977), Hiroshi Sugimoto presents a breathtaking vision of one of Japan's most famous waterfalls. The offset lithograph, part of a limited edition of 100, captures the essence of the falls in a monochromatic palette, emphasizing the play of light on water and mist. The image is both ethereal and powerful, with the water cascading down like a ribbon of silk into the misty abyss below. The photograph's soft focus and blurred edges evoke a dreamlike quality, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the scene's tranquil beauty. Sugimoto's meticulous technique transforms a simple landscape into a profound meditation on nature's transience and permanence. As you engage with this work, consider the delicate interplay of light, water, and air, and the way Sugimoto captures the fleeting moment of the falls' descent—a moment both eternal and transient. We invite you to immerse yourself in the serene and mystical world of Hiroshi Sugimoto, where each image is a gateway to a deeper understanding of the natural world and our place within it.
