RODLAND, TORBJORN. Vanilla Partner, London: Mack, 2012.

Quarto, first edition, unpaginated with 87 color and duotone plates, orange cloth boards with stamped white lettering, signed on a front flyleaf by the photographer. Cutting-edge modern Norwegian photographer, or as the publisher put it: "blatantly retarded in a consciously agile way." The photographer says: "I represent a type of photography where memory and culture is an integrated part of seeing. ... A photograph or a collection of photographs doesn't sell a product or communicate a message. It's not meant to be decoded, but to keep you in the process of looking. It's layered and complex. It mirrors and triggers you without end and for no good reason"
