Winfried Bullinger Caves

In his "Caves" series Winfried Bullinger confronts the viewer with man's primordial relationship to the cave as source of protection and cultural space. His black-and-white photographs, taken in 2005-2008 in a variety of regions, bring together every conceivable symbolic connotation – from the mouth of hell to Hades itself, from a mother's lap to the seat of mystery. What unites them all is the same abstract image quality and message. The photographs move beyond the actual cave depicted to summon up a series of associations: the hole in a giant tree in the primeval forest, the panorama of a tropical rainforest, the cavity in a skull. But Bullinger also shows us the archaic-seeming "underworld" in which even people today still prefer the protection of the cave to a life in the light.
