published: 03 Aug 2024, 5 min read, 'EVENT EXPIRED'
when: 03 August 2024 - 27 October 2024 | cost: $20 to $28 | address: 140 George Street The Rocks NSW 2000 AustraliaOver the past 50 years, photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto has created some of the most celebrated and recognisable images in contemporary art.
Exclusive to Sydney, 'Time Machine' is the largest exhibition to date of the internationally renowned artist's work. Featuring key works from all of the artist's major photographic series, this survey highlights Sugimoto's philosophical yet playful inquiry into our understanding of time and memory, and photography's ability to both document and invent.
Employing a large-format camera and mixing his own darkroom chemicals, Sugimoto has often revisited ideas and practices from 19th-century photography, capturing subjects such as dioramas, wax figures and architecture. His work has stretched and rearranged concepts of time, space and light that are integral to the medium. For Sugimoto, photography is uniquely suited for preserving and picturing time's passage, functioning as a form of time machine.
The exhibition organised by the Hayward Gallery, London in association with the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia.
