Shadow Land: Photographs by Roger Ballen, 1983-2011 is at Manchester Art Gallery until 13 May. Ballen was born in New York but has lived and worked in South Africa for 30 years. His black and white pictures are distinctive and often disturbing - he describes his work as 'documentary fiction', blurring the line between fantasy and reality. This is his first major show in the UK.
Ballen has recently collaborated with the band Die Antwoord - watch I fink u freeky, the video he has directed for them.
