In Torbjørn Rødland's (b. 1970 in Stavanger, NO) photographs, familiarity and strangeness, interiority and emotionality, tenderness and violence combine and separate like rich ingredients in skilled hands. Paradox comes to life in images that conjure mixed feelings like desire alongside distaste, or serenity where one might be sure suffering is at hand. These pictures have the distinctive quality of being both highly descriptive and mythological. They bridge inner and outer worlds, simultaneously emphasizing the sacred vastness of it all.
