Hiroshi Sugimoto

Mathematical Form: Surface 0045 with a Conic Singularity

2005

Hiroshi Sugimoto's gelatin silver print renders a plaster mathematical model in luminous, otherworldly detail, transforming an abstract geometric form into something at once scientific and deeply sensual. The artist's signature mastery of light and tonal gradation elevates the sculptural object beyond its academic origins, casting it as a meditation on the intersection of beauty and pure logic. Presented alongside a silk-covered book in a bespoke metal box, the work exists as a complete, contemplative object — a collector's artifact as meticulously crafted as the photograph itself.
