Dorps, Small Towns of South Africa

€21.00
The first of Ballen's South African photo-essays, and the book which established his reputation. For many years, Roger Ballen, an American, has travelled widely throughout South Africa, visiting its scattered towns and villages. During this time he has developed a unique vision toward little-known corners and artifacts, trading stores, old houses and humble people. Textured with time, these photographs reveal the essence of these places.
Dorps, Small Towns of South Africa is a photographic work by Roger Ballen that captures the atmosphere of small towns across the country. The book serves as a poetic statement on a vanishing way of life, blending the perspectives of an outsider and an insider to provide a view uncluttered by sentiment.
