Morten Andenæs

Morten Andenæs (b. 1979 in Oslo) lives and works in Oslo 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 numerous exhibitions, Andenæs has published two photobooks, Skyldfolk (2013) and We live in the house across the street (2021), Hvit stol Mørkt rom (2025), a novel, Du, jeg, og Erik (2019) as well as numerous articles 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 in Oslo, Henie Onstad Art Centre, Høvikodden, Kunstsilo/Sørlandets Kunstmuseum, Kristiansand, City of Oslo Art Collection and Kistefos/Christen Sveaas Art Foundation, Oslo.
