【Book Description】

Roger Ballen is a photographic artist from the United States, renowned for his distinctive style that blends documentary photography, surrealism, and psychoanalysis. Since the 1980s, he has been based in South Africa, focusing his lens on marginalized and overlooked communities. Through stark black-and-white imagery, Ballen delves into the fragility, chaos, and subconscious layers of human nature. His work goes beyond simply documenting reality—it explores the inner psychological states of his subjects, using symbols, graffiti, animals, and human figures to construct compelling and psychologically charged visual narratives.

Following the international acclaim of Outland and Shadow Chamber, Ballen once again collaborates with the esteemed British publisher Phaidon to present his latest monograph, Boarding House. This book continues his signature visual language, but further expands it into a claustrophobic space where the boundary between reality and hallucination becomes increasingly blurred. The photographs were taken inside a building referred to as the “boarding house,” a surreal environment filled with complex compositions and bizarre, theatrical scenes. Through this body of work, Ballen creates a psychological space that confronts viewers with the deeper instincts and anxieties of the human condition. Boarding House marks yet another bold artistic experiment in Ballen’s career and a significant evolution of his photographic vision.
