Baltic Sea, Rügen
A vast expanse of sea and sky merge into a seamless horizon in Hiroshi Sugimoto's luminous gelatin silver print, rendered in his signature long-exposure technique that transforms water into a silken, ethereal surface. The composition is divided into two near-equal tonal fields, with the dense, brooding sky pressing down upon the shimmering stillness of the Baltic. Rooted in both Conceptualist and Minimalist traditions, the work invites meditation on time, perception, and the primordial nature of the seascape.
