THE HIGH: WYNN BULOCK: REVELATIONS

“The camera is not only an extension of the eye, but of the brain. It can see sharper, farther, nearer, slower, faster than the eye…Instead of using the camera only to reproduce objects, I want to use it to make what is invisible to the eye, visible.”
— Wynn Bullock

The arc of Bullock’s innovative achievements is surveyed in Wynn Bullock: Revelationsthrough more than 100 prints, from his early experimental work of the 1940s, through the mysterious black-and-white imagery of the 1950s and color light abstractions of the 1960s, to his late metaphysical photographs of the 1970s. Wynn Bullock: Revelations coincides with a major gift from the Bullock Estate to the High Museum, making Atlanta one of the largest repositories of Bullock’s work in the country.

Bullock’s work was guided by an intense interest in the mid-twentieth-century dialogue about the structure of the universe and humanity’s place within it. Drawn to the spirit of experimentation that marked scientific and philosophic endeavors of his day, Bullock used knowledge about quantum physics, special relativity, and the space-time continuum as a reference point for his own intuitive and deeply personal explorations of the world. Photography for Bullock was a way of meditating on the frightening and exhilarating idea that there is much more to the world than is commonly understood through ordinary perception, and he was passionate about conveying that revelation to others through his work.
