Roger Ballen In Conversation With Doug Mcclemont
When Roger Ballen talks about his body of work, it is seldom in terms of social commentary. If the personal history of one of his sitters seems unavoidable, Ballen addresses the narrative only in the broadest possible way. To the artist, the images of small-town South Africa contain interplay of light and dark, painterly lines and the secrets that shadows obscure and reveal. For the rest of us, they’re unforgettable. He talks here about his work, including a new book ‘Boarding House’, published by Phaidon.
