Rodger Ballen is the famed photographer and creative director behind Die Antwoord. His easily recognised photographs depict both a harsh reality and one he’s constructed in his art. Dark, twisted and otherworldly his work can be found in galleries and museums around the world.

When the non for profit Skateroom collaborated with Rodger on a series of art decks they asked us (Canvas) to work with Rodger to make a film depicting the “birth” of the skate decks.

Inspired by his work, and briefed by the man himself we created an original piece in homage to Rodger and his Ballenesqe world.
