In a world in which many photographers seek to avoid definition,
Roger Ballen's photographs define themselves in their defiance of
classification and genre: his world stands out as one of a kind.
The black-and-white images featured in Asylum of the Birds were
created exclusively within the confines of a house in a
Johannesburg suburb, the location of which remains a guarded
secret. The inhabitants of the house, both human and animal -
including, most notably, the ever-present birds - are the cast of
Ballen's world, performers amidst the theatrical interiors that
they create and he orchestrates. The resulting images exist in a
space between painting, drawing, installation and photography. They
are timeless, psychologically powerful and masterfully composed.
