    When you look at his 'Boarding House' series, you could easely forget our daily life reality approach. And that is something worthwhile...

    Good thing his photographs are amazing. He gave a speech on his Shadow Chamber series at the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art. I didn't think it was humanly possible to be that dull.

    Roger Ballen Dorps: Small Towns of South Africa - 1991

  • Rated by Hapax on Apr 07 2007, 12:35pm

    roger ballen shadow chamber Roger Ballen was born in New York City in 1950 and has lived in Johannesburg South Africa for almost 30 years. Beginning by documenting the small dorps or villages of rural South Africa, Ballen's photography moved on in the late 1980's and early 1990's to their inhabitants; through the late 1990's Ballen's work progressed. By the mid 1990's his subjects began to act where previously his pictures however troubling fell firmly into the category of documentary photography, his work then moved into the realms of fiction. His third book Outland produced by Phaidon Press in 2000 was the result. In the fall of 2005, Phaidon press produced its second book by the artist, entitled "Shadow Chamber". The book focuses on the interactions between the people, animals, and or objects that inhabit Ballen's unique image space. Ballen's recent work enters into a new realm of photography--the images are painterly and sculptural in ways not immediately associated with photographs.
