About The exhibition at Fotografiska traces the artist’s numerous bodies of work in a loosely chronological order, showcasing iconic black-and-white photographs, recent color works, Polaroids, etchings, and original drawings. The exhibition is completed by lesser-known works that unexpectedly complete his practice. Alongside installations like a new Drawing Man piece, it explores Ballen’s deeply unique aesthetic – the “ballenesque”. Photography Painting Mixed media
