This volume documents Hiroshi Sugimoto’s rigorous exploration of historical figures through his signature large-format, black-and-white lens. By photographing wax effigies at Madame Tussaud’s, Sugimoto blurs the boundaries between reality and artifice, challenging the viewer’s perception of time and the nature of the photographic medium itself. The collection serves as a profound meditation on the persistence of memory and the uncanny stillness of the human image.
