Torbjørn Rødland Confabulations Signed by the Photographer A 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.
