PARIS PHOTO 2025 Booth B54
Preview November 12
Public Days November 13 – 16

Galerie Eva Presenhuber is pleased to showcase the solo presentation Home Song by the Norwegian photographer Torbjørn Rødland at Paris Photo 2025. The presentation is curated by Nadine Wietlisbach, Director of Fotomuseum Winterthur.

In Torbjørn Rødland's 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. 

If viewers find magic, religion, and paradox in the works, Rødland’s photographs also undoubtedly operate in the realm of the real. Each piece tethers us to a specific sense of self and a relatable mood, and rarely does the artist depict anything we don’t encounter in our daily lives. Reality in Rødland’s work is prized for its asymmetry; the quotidian for its abiding uncanny.

Torbjørn Rødland was born in Stavanger, Norway in 1970, and lives and works in New York, US.
