Photographer Roger Ballen's Theatre of the Mind

American-born South African photographer Roger Ballen has moved a long way from his documentary beginnings. His work is now stylised, darkly menacing, and built from mysterious tableaux.

He is in Australia both for a retrospective-style exhibition, 'Roger Ballen’s Theatre of the Mind', which opens in Sydney tomorrow (Wednesday 16 March) and to create installations inside the old Callan Park Mental Hospital in Sydney.

He speaks to Michael Cathcart about his work.Bewitched by Roger Ballen
