“Sight Unseen,” a new exhibit at Walnut Creek’s Lesher Center, reveals how acclaimed blind photographers can create beautiful and moving photos.
Photography is much more than what meets the eye.
Wingwall is one of 13 blind photographers pushing the limits of photography at Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek in the exhibition, “Sight Unseen: International Photography by Blind Artists.” Renowned Southern California artist Douglas McCulloh curated the exhibition featuring over 100 photos from photographers who are completely or legally blind.
McCulloh says “Sight Unseen” and blind photography are inherently political forms of artistry. Sighted people are flooded with imagery that, according to McCulloh, often narrows the possibility for creating visually interesting creative work – a conundrum that blind people exist outside of. To McCulloh, who is sighted, blind photography is uniquely original, as it represents the inner visualizations of artists who rely on memory, touch, and sense alone to create images.
