ROGER BALLEN – JOEL-PETER WITKIN Presents 60 photographic works by Roger Ballen and Joel-Peter Witkin The first exhibition in Italy as part of an international tour to be held at the medieval setting of CastelIvano, in Trentino, Italy 16 March - 13 April 2024 The Uncanny Lens / La Lenta Inquietante is an exhibition aimed at showcasing the photographic works of two renowned artistic figures, Hamiltons-represented artist Roger Ballen, and Joel-Peter Witkin. Both artists are known for their distinctive and unconventional approached to black-and-white photography, the human condition, the human psyche and the grotesque. The exhibition seeks to encourage an exploration of the unconscious mind through photography and, by presenting a selection of these works side-by-side, offers a deepened and more nuanced appreciation for these artists’ contribution to Surrealism and to the history of photography. The project reveals a profound dialogue established over the years between the two artists. In the juxtaposition of their photographs, we gain a clearer understanding of their unique aesthetic through their stylistic and iconographic references to myth and fantasy.
