Hiroshi Sugimoto @ Pace / MacGill Gallery
Lake Superior
Exhibition: October 27 – December 3, 2011
An extension of Sugimoto’s iconic and ongoing Seascape series, in which the artist photographs bodies of water around the world within a consistently minimal visual framework, the images on display depict the largest of North America’s Great Lakes, Lake Superior. Using an 8 x 10 inch view camera, Sugimoto frames each vista to contain solely water and sky, employing the central horizon line to divide the picture plane into equal proportions of light and dark, void and substance. Nearly identical in formal composition, the photographs appear to vary only in atmospheric conditions and time of day.
