Hiroshi Sugimoto unveils his latest series of photographs with the Optical Allusion exhibition. It is on display at Lisson Gallery in New York City. Sugimoto is recognized for his work in capturing blurry abstract images of refracted daylight and it is showcased along the real prism that was actually used for the formation.
Visitors can have a tangible experience with time and light as they reflect throughout the entire space. The exhibition highlights the photographs that are large in size for a dynamic experience as each one measures about 4 feet square and displays a blurry gradient of tones. Each one is the result of a custom prism that refracts daylight onto the wall before being altered.
