Artist Research no.12: Roger Ballen

Roger Ballen is an American artist born in New York in 1950. His work is influenced by the time he has spent living in Johannesburg, South Africa for the past 40 years or so. His work began as documentary photography but has since moved into the realm of fictional theater, and jumps between something photographic, and sculptural. His images comment on space, and the information allowed to a viewer. Bodies are fragmented and distorted, and his work has a very eerie feel to it.
