Roger Ballen will show his work at Espai 2NOU2 from September 16th until October 30th. The artist, who is also exhibiting his work at the 17th Biennale of Sidney, will present a selection of photographies that depict the behavior and “modus vivendi” of those characters that lived in what he calls the “Boarding house” for a while. Poor workers, criminals hiding from the law, children, animals or insects, become into the main characters of a story that leave a special mark in this peculiar place.

The images, which have appeared through a work process of 5 years in this place situated near Johannesburg, blur the lines between documentary photography and art forms such as painting, theatre and sculpture. They make us question everything we see.
