In capturing the archetypes of southern California through infrared technology, Kate Ballis transforms the region’s iconic modernist architecture and desert landscapes into uncanny worlds.

Each hyper-saturated image is awash with rich tones, offering surreal and alluring dreamscapes that question perceptions of reality. The exhibition Hypercolour Fantasy: Infra Realism at Garis & Hahn, LA, marks Ballis’ US debut. Until 25 August. Find out more here.
