Artist Merve Ünsal who explores the artistic practice of Roger Ballen joins Demet Yıldız, Head of the Photography Department at Istanbul Modern, for a conversation on Ballen. Evaluating Ballen’s work since the 1980s, Yıldız and Ünsal will also discuss the making of the retrospective as well as the artist’s – in his own words – “ballenesque” aesthetic, which employs diverse techniques while still firmly rooted in photography.
