drawing meets photography

Birds, rats, bodies, rooms, scratches, masks; real or not real?

This is the world of Roger Ballen. The Ballenesque theatre performs and the audience joins in on demand. The scenes are confusing, relatable, tangible, absurd, appealing, impossible - yet real.

"As a photographer and artist, my work goes beyond conventional photography; it seeks to explore the depths of the human psyche.”

— Roger Ballen
