As a complement to the exhibition Roger Ballen: Asylum of the Birds, 20 prints from the Daum’s permanent collection of over 500 photographs have been selected to illustrate ideas related to the existential surreality of Ballen’s oeuvre. As the exhibition’s title suggests, Shadowland explores the crepuscular in-between, where shadow helps portray ambivalence, mystery, and psychological richness. The works in the exhibition are by 13 different artists, including Gilbert Fastenaekens, Linda Connor, Emmit Gowin, and Deanna Dikeman, and they range in date from 1968 to 2012.
