BUILDING TERZO PIANO is pleased to present, from May 29th to July 12th, 2025, Roger Ballen. Spirits and Spaces: Ballen’s first solo exhibition at BUILDING, which inaugurates the exclusive collaboration between the artist and the gallery that now represents him in Italy.

After working exclusively in black and white for more than 50 years, the new exhibition offers a preview of Roger Ballen’s first selection of color photographs. These works were made over the past six years, and will be featured within his new monograph, Spirits and Spaces, to be published by Thames & Hudson in fall 2025. The photographs were developed in collaboration with Marguerite Rossouw, art director of Ballen’s studio.

In addition to color images, the exhibition also features a selection of Polaroids produced between 2024 and 2025. These were transformed using archival color inks. Through this mixture of mediums, Ballen creates images that further challenge the boundary between reality and fiction.
