“Photography is a system of saving memories. It’s a time machine, in a way, to preserve the memory, to preserve time.” — Hiroshi Sugimoto

For humanity, the camera lens is like our eyes. It is not only a tool for observing the world, but also capturing and presenting reality, transforming our visual experiences into tangible images. The instant the shutter activates, time is captured and transformed into an image, allowing fleeting memories to linger. In Hiroshi Sugimoto’s work, photography is more than freezing a moment—it's a method of recording and preserving the flow of time, even becoming a medium that transcends time itself. Through his work, Sugimoto prolongs time in the images, blurring the boundary between reality and imagination, prompting philosophical reflections on memory and perception.
