WORK IN-PROGRESS #1
Hiroshi Sugimoto
Anti-Gravitation Structure
This project by the Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto possesses many interesting concepts and ideas within itself. From the first look, the subject might not provoke any reactions, but when digging deeper, there is a whole concept that can apply to everything that surrounds us. This concept is the idea of support.
The subject matter of this work is supporting pillars that help to hold a structure. In that case, this structure is the east pagoda of Taima-dera. These types of pillars use a special technique called masugumi. Hiroshi Sugimoto is fascinated by the idea that such pillars were able to support pagodas that were built more than 1300 years ago. The photo presents mainly horizontal and vertical lines, but there is also a sense of form. There is a lot of depth within these rectangular forms, which incrusts themselves into one another. This creates a certain unity between the components of the photography, which creates a pleasing look for the eyes. The photograph also shows in detail the texture of the wood that is used in this pillar, which helps to convey the history behind it.
The theme of support inspired me to find things in our daily that support beings, structures, or objects. Many forms of support exist, and I plan to demonstrate that it is possible to conceptualize support in many ways possible. For that, I decided to look around and find even the most unmeaningful things and how they can support us. For example, a simple winter coat supports us in the cold by keeping us warm, or a floor supports the weight of people and furniture standing on it. Like these pillars that were used to support pagoda for thousands of years, I want to show how other subjects also support a human, or material being whether it is in a physical, or symbolic form.
