THE MODEL BOOK (ENGLISH)

Published by Mack Books, The Model is an intense and enigmatic visual exploration by Norwegian photographer Torbjørn Rødland. Focusing on the figure of Polish model and actress Malgosia Bela, the book questions the relationship between image, identity, and representation.
Language: English.


Through intimate portraits and carefully constructed scenes, Rødland presents Bela in everyday and symbolic situations, often fragmented, hidden, or interacting with artistic objects. The result is a photographic study that reveals both the presence and distance of its protagonist, playing with the idea of the model as both subject and object.

With his distinctive style, Rødland offers a disquieting reflection on the power of the gaze and the role of the image in contemporary culture.
