Ballenesque - Roger Ballen
Roger Ballen is best known for his psychologically powerful and intricately layered images that exist in a space between painting, drawing, installation, and photography. Separated into four parts, Ballenesque takes readers on a chronological journey through Ballen's entire oeuvre, including both iconic images and previously unpublished works. Ballenesque is the first comprehensive retrospective of his work.
Part II charts the period between 1980 and 2000, during which time he released his seminal monograph Outland. Part I explores Ballen's formative artistic influences and his later rediscovery of boyhood through photography, culminating in his first published monograph, Boyhood, in 1979. Part III covers the years 2000-2013, when Ballen achieved global recognition and his work began to veer away from portraiture altogether.
Finally, in Part IV, Ballen reflects on his career. With more than 300 photographs and an introduction by Robert JC Young, this book provides both a new way of seeing Ballen's work for those who already follow his career and a comprehensive introduction for those encountering his striking photographs for the first time.
