It is crowded with poor workers, transients, criminals hiding from the law, witchdoctors, children, pet animals and insects. There are stains and marks, curious objects and mysterious drawings, smells and noises everywhere.
These photographs are like images from a waking dream, compelling and thought-provoking, formally sophisticated and filled with layers of rich detail. An element of fiction is essential to the way Ballen represents what he finds, and the rooms and corners of the Boarding House he shows us are characterized by an altered sense of place. With their emphasis on drawn and sculptural elements, and the collaboration between the artist and his subjects clearly evident, the images in Boarding House blur the lines between documentary photography and art forms such as painting, theatre and sculpture – they make us question everything we see.
In his introduction to Boarding House, photography curator David Travis addresses this new body of work in the wider context of Ballen’s career to date."
