Publisher Note

Animalism, a research project he has been pursuing for over two decades, Roger Ballen explores the deep and often disturbing relationship between human beings and animals.

The images blur the boundaries between human and animal behaviour, questioning that distinction’s very nature.

Through surreal compositions and a dark absurdity, Animalism reveals how the animal is both an external presence and an intrinsic part of the human psyche, uncovering the deep connections between civilization and untamed nature.

Published on the occasion of the 2025 exhibition at Mattatoio, Rome
