Background information
"The repetition and variation of water: an expanded edition of Hiroshi SUGIMOTO's classic series 'Seascapes'. For more than 30 years, Hiroshi SUGIMOTO has traveled the world photographing its seas, producing an extended meditation on the passage of time and the natural history of the earth reduced to its most basic, primordial substances: water and air. Always capturing the sea at a moment of absolute tranquility, Hiroshi SUGIMOTO has composed all the photographs identically, with the horizon line precisely bifurcating each image. The repetition of this strict format reveals the uniqueness of each meeting of sea and sky, with the horizon never appearing exactly the same way twice. The photographs are romantic yet absolutely rigorous, apparently universal but exceedingly specific." (publisher's note, © Damiani, 2019)
