Gooi Rooi [Die Antwoord]
Limited Edition of 50
The power of Roger Ballen’s theatrical photography lies in its ability to play on the human psyche. The distinction between photography and documentary falls away through the use of monochromatic colors, throwing the audience’s perception of reality into chaos when combined with specific psychological elements. Through his work and portrayal of archetypes, Ballen arouses the subconscious mind, and taps into the collective memory of mankind.
