Revolution 002, N. Atlantic Ocean, Newfoundland 1990

Hiroshi Sugimoto's "Revolution 002, N. Atlantic Ocean, Newfoundland" (1990) is a striking example of his "Seascapes" series. The photograph, taken from a ship's deck, captures the path of a single, bright light source, likely a star or a distant lighthouse, against the expanse of the black night sky. Sugimoto's minimalist approach and the long exposure time create a sense of vastness and timelessness, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between humanity and the vastness of the natural world. The work emphasizes the ephemeral nature of light and its ability to illuminate the darkness.
