Surreal, raffiniert, verstörend: Roger Ballen hat sich mit seinem besonderen Auge für das Minoritäre, Abseitige, aber dennoch Tiefgreifende und Berührende einen Namen gemacht. Die dokumentarische Kraft der Kamera verschmilzt in seiner Hand mit der ingeniösen Kraft seiner Imagination, um in die Seele des Menschen zu blicken und den Betrachtenden unter die Haut zu gehen. Sein neues, aufwendig von 2015 bis 2020 produziertes Projekt ist Roger the Rat. In bedrückend scharfen Schwarz-Weiß-Aufnahmen verfolgt er das Leben einer Kreatur, deren Körper als Mensch, aber mit dem Kopf einer Ratte in Erscheinung tritt. Bild für Bild wird man Zeuge von Szenen, die dekonstruiert und ihrem alltäglichen Gestus entrissen verdrängt Aspekte der menschlichen Existenz offenbaren. Der Katalog präsentiert den Bildzyklus als eine eindrückliche Schau, deren Betrachtungen mit der letzten Seite noch lange nicht vorbei ist.

For more than 30 years, the photographer Roger Ballen has been shooting portraits of the impoverished white population of rural South Africa, of day labourers, security guards and workers who eek out a wretched existence in the so-called Platteland. Ballen portrays his subjects against the theatrical backdrop of their own humble homes, whose spartan interiors he transforms into claustrophobic stage sets on which the actors play their parts with extraordinary expressiveness. The selected props include wire and dilapidated furniture, which shot in conjunction with the subjects themselves develop a surrealistic life of their own. There is something almost absurdly grotesque about these documentary-style compositions and at the same time something worryingly oppressive. They show a hermetically sealed world that can be read as a deeply troubling image of psychotic energy. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Roger Ballen: Retrospektive, 12 November 2010 – 27 February 2011, Münchner Stadtmuseum.

His powerful psychological studies influenced a generation of artists and still resonate today.

Ballenesque written by Roger Ballen and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-01-31 with categories.

A substantial retrospective on one of the world's most remarkable and critically acclaimed art photographers. Separated into four parts, Ballenesque takes readers on a visual, chronological journey through Roger Ballen's entire oeuvre, including both iconic images and previously unpublished photographs. Part I explores his formative artistic influences and his later rediscovery of boyhood through photography, culminating in his first published monograph, Boyhood, in 1979. Part II then charts the period between 1980 and 2000, during which time his deeper search for the elemental self found its way into the 'Dorps', or small towns, of South Africa and concluding with the release of his seminal monograph Outland. Part III covers the years 2000-2013, when Ballen achieved global recogition with Shadow Chamber and Boarding House and his work began to veer away from portraiture altogether. Finally, in Part IV, Ballen reflects upon his career in its entirety. With over 300 photographs and an introduction by eminent academic Robert J. C. Young, this book provides both an entirely new way of seeing Ballen's work for those who already follow his career and a comprehensive introduction for those encountering his photographs for the first time.

In a world in which many photographers seek to avoid definition, Roger Ballen's photographs define themselves in their defiance of classification and genre: his world stands out as one of a kind. The black-and-white images featured in Asylum of the Birds were created exclusively within the confines of a house in a Johannesburg suburb, the location of which remains a guarded secret. The inhabitants of the house, both human and animal - including, most notably, the ever-present birds - are the cast of Ballen's world, performers amidst the theatrical interiors that they create and he orchestrates. The resulting images exist in a space between painting, drawing, installation and photography. They are timeless, psychologically powerful and masterfully composed.
