TORBJØRN RØDLAND

Born in 1970 in Stavanger, Norway. Lives and works in Los Angeles.

In Torbjørn Rødland's photographs, reality is constantly questioned. The artist's stagings have an acidic strangeness and explore a wide range of emotional possibilities. Far from merely questioning the realism of the medium, the artist's work is at once before, behind, above and below every possible image.
