Basement #2 (my uncle’s house), 2020

Morten Andenæs lives and works in Oslo, Norway, and received his BFA from The School of Visual Arts in New York City. For nearly two decades, his concise, poetic imagery and literary texts on images and their place in culture at large have made an impact on the Norwegian photography scene. Andenæs’ work explores the role of images in shaping how we view the world and ourselves, and his evocative photographs of people, animals, landscapes, and objects allude to our fantasies, longings, and desires.

In addition to his numerous exhibitions, Andenæs has published two photobooks, *Skyldfolk* (2013) and *We live in the house across the street* (2021), a novel, *Du, jeg, og Erik* (2019), as well as numerous articles and a book on contemporary photography. In 2019, he held his largest solo exhibition to date at Kunstnernes Hus, titled *I remind me of you*. Morten Andenæs’ work is represented in numerous public collections, including the National Museum, the Henie Onstad Art Center, and the City of Oslo Art Collection.
