Chiesa Rossa, Muzio with Dan Flavin

A long-exposure black-and-white photograph captures the luminous glow of Dan Flavin's fluorescent light installations within the austere interior of Chiesa Rossa, a Milan church designed by Giovanni Muzio. Sugimoto's signature use of extended exposure transforms the artificial light into an ethereal, almost divine radiance, dissolving architectural details into soft gradients of tone. The image meditates on the intersection of minimalist contemporary art and sacred space, blurring the boundaries between the spiritual and the secular.

Medium
Gelatin silver print.
