Roger Ballen and Joel-Peter Witkin: The Uncanny Lens
March 16th through April 13th, 2024
“It is an exhibition aimed at showcasing some of the best works of these two masters of photography. Both artists are known for their distinctive and unconventional approaches to black-and-white photography, the human condition, the human psyche and the grotesque. The proposed exhibition seeks to encourage an exploration of the unconscious mind through photography. Further, by presenting a selection of these works side-by side, this exhibition seems to offer a deepened and more nuanced appreciation for these artist´s contribution to Surrealism and to the history of photography. The reference to the `uncanny´ in this exhibition is two-fold: it refers to the eerie quality of the works themselves, as well as to the remarkable and strange visual relationships between these two oeuvres.”
