Roger Ballen

MARTa Herford Museum of Art and Design, Herford

Photographs 1969-2009. A representative cross-section of his works and whose cryptic and grotesque images generate unconventional photographic realities. Ballen's images reflects his search for what is unusual and unconscious - and the results frequently have a nightmarish appearance.


comunicato stampa

The works of Roger Ballen are some of the most extraordinary examples of contemporary photography. His pictures have a bewildering impact due to their ambivalent position between documentation and fiction. They reflect a journey into his own psyche in search of all that is concealed and unconscious.

The exhibition will feature a representative cross-section of the works of Roger Ballen, who was born in 1950 in New York, and whose cryptic and grotesque images generate unconventional photographic realities. Depicting people who become actors in absurd roleplays, Ballen’s works are among the most unusual examples of contemporary photography.

Roger Ballen’s photography reflects his search for what is unusual and unconscious – and the results frequently have a nightmarish appearance. The exhibition, which was a resounding success at the Munich Stadtmuseum in 2011, features examples taken from throughout his career.

The Roger Ballen Foundation is dedicated to the advancement of education of photography in South Africa. RBF creates and supports programmes of the highest quality to further the understanding and appreciation of the medium. Working with artists from around the world, our program enables students and general audiences to engage with notable contemporary photographic art that would otherwise not be seen in South Africa.
