About the Exhibition
This exhibition is centered on the 'extinction photographs' created by Hiroshi Sugimoto (1948-), a leading figure in contemporary art. It explores the relationship between nature and humanity, time and memory, addressing ecological and philosophical themes through the medium of photography. Treating photography not as a simple image but as an artistic tool for capturing the flow of time and space, he reflects on the extinction of species and humanity's role through the theme of 'extinction.' The exhibition presents a total of 30 photographs, organized into three sections: 'An Ecological View,' 'The Flow of Time,' and 'Photography and Myth.' Signature works such as Sagami Bay, Enoura (2025) symbolize both the beauty of nature and the crisis of its disappearance, prompting deep reflection in visitors.
