Rommet rundt stolen #3, 2025

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 the culture at large has made an impact on the Norwegian photography scene. Andenæs’ work investigates the role of images on how we view the world and ourselves, and his dense photographs of people, animals, landscapes and objects hint 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, Henie Onstad Art Centre and City of Oslo Art Collection.
