Photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto: Lightning Fields

Closing this week is an exhibition of photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto’s latest series of work, “Lightning Fields”, at San Franciso’s Fraenkel Gallery. This latest work depicts electricity, quite literally. For the images, Sugimoto used a Van De Graaff 400,000 volt generator to apply a charge directly to the camera film. The resulting images can take on any number of forms and blur the lines on what viewers might consider abstract or representational.

More information at the Fraenkel Gallery.
