© Hiroshi Sugimoto. Lightning Fields 128, 2009A photo exhibition this month at the Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco showcases the work of Hiroshi Sugimoto. In his series “Lightning Fields”, Hiroshi Sugimoto uses a Van De Graaf 400,000 volt generator to apply an electrical charge directly onto the film – known as ‘Trouvelot figures’.
“The idea of observing the effects of electrical discharges on photographic dry plates reflects my desire to re-create the major discoveries of these scientific pioneers in the darkroom and verify them with my own eyes.”
- Hiroshi Sugimoto
The exhibit concludes October 31st.
