HIROSHI SUGIMOTO & TERRY EVANS PHOTOGRAPHER RESEARCHALISON JENG

Hiroshi Sugimoto is a Japanese photographer whose photographs serve as a time capsule for a series of events in time, or as he describes an expression of “time exposed.” Other common themes Sugimoto explores include the transience of life and the juxtaposition between life and death. Using an 8x10 large-format camera and extremely long exposures, Sugimoto showcases great detail and technical mastery.

Sugimoto cites Marcel Duchamp, the Dadaist and Surrealist movements, as well as 20th century architecture as a major influences in his work and philosophy.

“The relation between the brain and the external world resembles the relation between camera and image. The projected image is always an inverted fiction.”— Hiroshi Sugimoto

Terry Evans is an nationally-acclaimed American photographer that photographs landscapes and the relationship people have with it. Often her work touches on the issue of climate change, the environment, as well as abandoned areas. In addition to her images of landscapes, shot from various points of view including aerial perspectives, Evans also photographs people who occupy the land.

“The archaic meaning of the word nostalgia is “a severe melancholia caused by protracted absence from home or native place. It seemed to me that the land was longing for its former self. Or was it me longing for the return of the land to itself?”— Terry Evans
