Mette Tronvoll has dedicated her artistic career to capturing unique stories about time, place, and identity since the early 1990s. Her work, which features diverse subjects from seaweed farmers to modest Norwegian men, reflects her focus on meaningful interactions rather than superficial beauty. Despite her significant contributions, particularly in Norway, Tronvoll has not achieved widespread recognition, potentially due to her refusal to engage with commercial photography. Her concerns about the evolving art world echo her desire for a return to purist artistic expressions, contrasting the current trends of entertainment-focused exhibitions.
Mette Tronvoll has been photographing stories about time, place and identity since the early 90s, yet remains largely unknown outside of Norway.
Tronvoll emphasizes intriguing interactions with people over traditional notions of beauty, stating, 'I am not searching for interesting-looking people, but interesting meetings with people.'
Tronvoll expresses dissatisfaction with the current art world's shift towards entertainment, lamenting, 'The art world has changed a lot since I started out.'
