The first complete compendium of Mullican’s photographs from the late 1960s to the present
Focusing on a medium the artist incessantly used from his debut to the late 1960s, but never analysed in depth by critics, the catalogue Mullican.
Photographs comprehensively documents the entire photo oeuvre of Matt Mullican, publishing a compendium of all his analogue photos taken between the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s up to his recent digital images and series, including images made by “That Person” – the artist’s alter ego that emerges during states of hypnosis and trance – plus computer-generated images – in his initial experiments of virtual reality in the 1980s and 1990s – and a portfolio of exhibition views at Pirelli HangarBicocca, the biggest retrospective to date on Mullican, exceptionally photographed by the artist himself. In addition to an extraordinary collection of 2,000 images, this publication also contains variousrelevant texts by key scholars.
