Book of the day > Torbjørn Rødland: Sasquatch Century. Koenig Books/Mousse Publishing Milan.

“Torbjørn Rødland: Sasquatch Century presents a rich visual flow of Norwegian artist Torbjørn Rødland’s work, followed by an introduction by curator Milena Hoegsberg, and a commissioned essay by writer and curator Linda Norden.

Guiding readers through the artist's enticing visual language, which straddles the border between the constructed and authentic, it includes a selection of his photographic works from the past 20 years.

The title Sasquatch Century refers to the mythical, hairy, humanoid creature historically viewed as the precursor to Bigfoot. The Sasquatch has been solidified in mythology and pop-culture through a simultaneous belief in and denial of its existence. As such the phenomenon embodies many of the artist’s interests in activating the tension between myth and reality, between the familiar and ungraspable, and the constructed and authentic.
