Inhoudelijke beschrijving:
trefwoorden: Pictorial works. Ouvrages illustrés. - This work was first published in 1994 in Rivonia, South Africa by William Waterman. For almost two decades Roger Ballen, an American, has been photographing in the South African countryside, searching for aesthetic symbols to convey a sense of the place and the people. The images, though devoid of excess, stripped to ther essence, are deptively simple. (jacket) "Platteland is an altogether extraordinary book, the most impressive sequence of portraits I've seen in years. Roger Ballen has used the power of photographyto instruct, to shock, and to discomfit with an exemplary integrity of purpose." (Susan Sontag)
