Torbjørn Rødland: The Touch That Made You

About

Torbjørn Rødland is a Los Angeles-based photographer who creates portraits, still lifes and landscapes that simultaneously inhabit and disrupt the realm of the everyday. With an often fetishistic approach to subjects, objects and materials, Rødland produces photographs that are intense, conceptually playful and psychologically evocative. Characterised by their double-edged allegories and underlying lyricism, Rødland’s staged scenarios ‘keep you in the process of looking’, revealing layers of both discomfort and pleasure.
