Synopsis

Roger Ballen. Call of the Void est la huitième d'une série d'expositions au Musée Tinguely sous le titre Danse macabre avec des œuvres répondant à l'œuvre tardive de Jean Tinguely Mengele Totentanz (Kehrer 2017). Dans ses photographies et installations souvent dérangeantes et troublantes, Ballen examine la psyché humaine et se pose, ainsi qu'au spectateur, des questions sur l'être et le devenir. Call of the Void se compose de deux parties : Les murs sont couverts de photographies issues des dernières séries analogiques de Ballen, Asylum of the Birds et Roger's Rats, tandis que le centre de l'espace est dominé par une cabane, une habitation pauvre pour les personnes en marge de la société. Né en 1950 à New York et installé à Johannesburg, en Afrique du Sud, depuis 1982, Roger Ballen est l'un des photographes les plus importants de sa génération. Il a publié plus de 25 livres à l'échelle internationale et ses collections se trouvent dans les plus grands musées du monde

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Born in the US and based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Roger Ballen is one of the most important photographers of his generation. He has published over 25 books internationally and has collections in the most prominent museums in the world. His oeuvre, which spans five decades, began with the documentary photography field but evolved into the creation of distinctive fictionalized realms that also integrate the mediums of film, installation, theatre, sculpture, painting and drawing. Ballen describes his works as 'existential psychodramas' that touch the subconscious mind and evoke the underbelly of the human condition. They aim to break through the repressed thoughts and feelings by engaging him in themes of chaos and order, madness or unruly states of being, the human relationship to the animal world, life and death, universal archetypes of the psyche and experiences of otherness. Through his unique, complex visual language, and universal and profound themes, the artist has made a lasting contribution to the field of art.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Roger Ballen. Call of the Void is the eighth in a series of exhibitions at Museum Tinguely under the title Danse macabre with works responding to Jean Tinguely's work Mengele Totentanz. In his often disturbing, unsettling photographs and installations, Ballen examines the human psyche and asks questions about being and becoming. Call of the Void consists of two parts: The walls are hung with photographs from Ballen's last analog series, Asylum of the Birds and Roger's Rats, while the center of the space is dominated by a shack with a mysterious door. Once inside, one is confronted with haunting depictions, sounds, and objects forcing the viewers to face their own void.

Born 1950 in New York and based in Johannesburg, South Africa, since 1982, Roger Ballen is one of the most important photographers of his generation. He has published over twenty-five books and his work is represented in the most prominent museums around the world.
