Hiroshi Sugimoto — Tyrrhenian Sea, Mount Polo (Morning, day, night)
Hiroshi Sugimoto

Tyrrhenian Sea, Mount Polo (Morning, day, night)

Three luminous panels capture the Tyrrhenian Sea at different moments of light—morning, day, and night—rendered in Sugimoto's signature long-exposure technique that dissolves time into stillness. Each gelatin silver print divides the composition into two equal halves of sky and water, reducing the ancient sea to its most elemental form. The triptych meditates on the constancy of nature across the passage of time, inviting the viewer to contemplate what remains unchanged in a world of perpetual flux.

Medium
Gelatin silver print triptych.
