Hiroshi Sugimoto — Bass Strait, Table Cape
Hiroshi Sugimoto

Bass Strait, Table Cape

1997

"Bass Strait, Table Cape" is a gelatin silver print by Hiroshi Sugimoto from his celebrated Seascapes series, which presents minimalist compositions of horizons dividing sea and sky in equal measure. Created using large format film and extended exposures, the photograph exemplifies Sugimoto's meditative approach to landscape photography and his interest in exploring the sublime through simplified, almost abstract compositions. The work reflects the artist's philosophical inquiry into time, nature, and perception through the deliberate elimination of human presence and narrative detail.
