2009171623Shizuoka: Izu Photo Musuem 2009. Hardcover. VG/VG- wear to dj edges and corners and some scuffing and rubbing to dj. Gray boards with black stamped lettering. BW-photographic dust jacket with gray lettering. 151 pp. BW and some color illustrations. A collection of photographs that pay homage to the work of photography pioneer William Henry Fox Talbot. Titled "Photogenic Drawing" these photographs were printed from paper negatives produced by Talbot 170 years ago. Sugimoto ihas effectively played variations on the original scores provided by Talbot's negatives transferring to a different medium images that would otherwise disappear and be lost to obscurity. "Lightening Fields" are prints in which the light is burned directly by applying electrical current to the film. The inspiration for this technique comes from "aborted discharge" experiments by Talbot. To create "Lightening Fields" Sugimoto ran electric current directly over the film and printed the results. This series is also related to Talbot inasmuch as it recalls the experiments that he carried out in his scientific work - and eventually discontinued - with electrical discharges. Text in Japanese and English. Izu Photo Musuem hardcover books
