Hiroshi Sugimoto — Lightning Fields 057
Hiroshi Sugimoto

Lightning Fields 057

A striking monochromatic image captures the raw, electric energy of a lightning bolt rendered through Sugimoto's signature scientific-meets-artistic process, in which electrical charges are discharged directly onto photographic film. The resulting branching, vein-like forms radiate outward against a deep black field, evoking both cosmic forces and organic structures found in nature. The embossed text subtly integrated into the composition adds a refined, tactile dimension to this meditation on the intersection of natural phenomena and photographic representation.
