A museum's collection intrinsically traces notions of history and time. But what history or histories do we tell? We are aware that, traditionally, museums have been trapped within a canonical view of history that seeks to establish sequential order between time periods. This traditional approach aims to explain works of art with documents and testimonies from an era without understanding that the images and objects far surpass the circumstances from which they were born. In this light, this ...

In the 1970s, Roger Ballen (United States, 1950) began portraiture work on people and towns in South Africa, where he has lived to date.

In them, people and animals are shown with unsettling poses in compositions formed by wires, shadows, sheets, stained walls, drawings and material scraps. These images with their surrealist shadings convey feel...
