Hardcover: $30.00 > $6.00 delivery anywhere in Australia Roger Ballen's Theatre of the Mind by Colin Rhodes was published in 2016. Produced in close cooperation with the artist (he also wrote the foreword), the book features a groundbreaking critical text by Rhodes, which is accompanied by more than seventy superb quality reproductions of Ballen's works. Rhodes uses the metaphor of the theatre to explore in depth the profoundly psychological nature of Ballen's art. He goes to the heart of the artist's preoccupation with unveiling images from deeper, more primal states of consciousness, which brings him closer to the thought and practices of R. D. Laing, C. G. Jung, Samuel Beckett and Antonin Artaud than to any sources in the history of photography. As Rhodes says, "Ballen's processes do not much reflect received ideas of what photographers do. As an artist he is centrally engaged in a practice that flows primarily from the inside out."
