A leading figure of contemporary photography, Hiroshi Sugimoto continually explores our relationship with time and perception. Accompanying his solo exhibition at the Soulages Museum in Rodez, the book sets his photographs in dialogue with the building’s architecture and with the work of Pierre Soulages: light, the primacy of black and the horizon. It reads his work through honka-dori, the classical Japanese poetic practice of revisiting a previous work to shift its meaning.
