Aperture No. 264: Fall 2026: Aperture No. 264

A propulsive inquiry into the elusive nature of time, light, and history. Across his six-decade career, Hiroshi Sugimoto has redefined the metaphysical possibilities of photography. As the guest editor of the fall issue, the artist will turn the magazine into a time machine, guiding readers through his singular way of seeing to reflect on the nature of light, the history of scientific imaging, and photography’s enduring dialogue between impermanence and eternity.
