Roger Ballen: Tales of Wonder
12 septiembre – 30 noviembre 2024
Opening reception September 12, from 12 am to 10 pm
“Roger Ballen is unanimously considered one of the essential and most influential photographers of the 21st century. His work has been exhibited around the world and is part of the permanent collections of institutions such as MOMA, Tate Britain, Center Georges Pompidou, Maison Européene de la Photographie, and the Musée de la Photographie à Charleroi. In this project we show photography and video of Roger around the concepts of play and black humor. Both are evident in his work, and even more recently, although other qualities such as restlessness and madness have usually been highlighted. The prominence of the unconscious and the archetypes related to animal instincts and the imprint of childhood on adult life connect us with the darkest areas of our psyche when contemplating his work.”
