Citas de Roger Ballen

• El blanco y negro es una forma de arte muy minimalista y, a diferencia de las fotografías en color, no pretende imitar el mundo de forma similar a como lo percibe el ojo humano...
  
  El blanco y negro es esencialmente una forma abstracta de interpretar y transformar lo que podríamos llamar realidad.

• Life on the planet and in our galaxy is so complex, I don't hope to have any substantial effect in it, but if I can touch a few people deep in their psyche, by making my personal subjective journey concrete for others, then I am very happy.

• [Photography] tells you that every second in time is different from every other second. You want people to understand that the image in front of them has something to do with the truth, and it can never be repeated.

• Black and White is essentially an abstract way to interpret and transform what one might refer to as reality. My purpose in taking photographs over the past forty years has ultimately been about defining myself. It has been fundamentally a psychological and existential journey.
