A propulsive inquiry into the elusive nature of time, light, and history. This fall, Aperture magazine presents ‘Stop Time’, an issue guest edited by Hiroshi Sugimoto, one of the most original and influential photographers of the past half century. In Sugimoto’s hands, the magazine has become a kind of time machine, guiding readers through the artist’s wide-ranging obsessions, including the nature of light, the origins of scientific imaging, the threat of human extinction, and photography’s enduring dialogue between impermanence and eternity.
