“In 1980, Hiroshi Sugimoto photographed the first of his series of seascapes. Taken from a bluff in Jamaica, the resulting black-and-white image of the Caribbean Sea is one of lucid simplicity: the frame cropping out everything but the sky and sea. The central horizon line divides the pho- tograph into top and bottom, light and dark, void and substance. The Japanese-born Sugimoto, who has lived primarily in New York since 1974, has continued this series up to the present, pho- tographing seas around the world in this simple framework. Variation occurs only in the weather and time of day.” extract from the essay by Kerry Brougher
