ARTBOOK @ HAUSER WIRTH & SCHIMMEL + MACK BOOKSinvite you to celebrate the publication of Torbjørn Rødland: Confabulationsand for a signing with Torbjørn RødlandA dictionary will tell you that confabulations are memory disturbances; the production of fabricated, distorted memories about oneself and the world, but without a conscious intention to deceive.“Subjectivity is not the master signifier of the image,” writes Ina Blom of Rødland’s work, “Nor is it lost in a vortex of abstractions: it is quite simply one point of connectivity among many. The camera, with its associated range of lenses, aperture settings, lighting devices, and film types, is another. […] The emphatic sheen, sleek glamour and casual perversity still thrive, but they take on an independent existence as new textural realities — as if to speak of a material world that we can never fully know.”With Confabulations, Torbjørn Rødland presents a set of analogue photographs that subtly misrepresents broken memories and childhood fantasies. Confabulations distorts facts to get to truth. Fragmentation is neither rejected nor induced in this unitary approach, but seen as a starting point for new connections. Beneath a million silly memes Rødland is looking for new soul..Torbjørn Rødland (born 1970, Norway) lives and works in Los Angeles, California and Oslo, Norway. He has exhibitied in the US and internationally at venues including MoMA PS1 in Long Island City, Queens, the Stedelijk Museum CS in Amsterdam, Netherlands and the Shanghai Art Museum in Shanghai, China.
