Andy Capp Variations

Within this publication Torbjørn Rødland employs the comic strip character of Andy Capp as the starting point for a series of small-scale black and white photographs. Repeating the same drawn image of this character, these photographs seem motivated by an interest in nivellation; an attempt at having the photographs neither appear as portrait, nor landscape, nor still life.

Andy Capp Variations could both be seen as a hard return to repetition and as an attempt to dissolve the classical genres that Rødland has been preoccupied with in recent years: the still life, the portrait and the landscape photography.
