| Summary: | For more than 30 years, Hiroshi Sugimoto has traveled the world photographing its seas, producing an extended meditation on the passage of time and the natural history of the earth reduced to its most basic, primordial substances: water and air.

The photographs are romantic yet absolutely rigorous, apparently universal but exceedingly specific |
