On 22 July 2011, a right-wing extremist detonated a car bomb in Oslo’s Government Quarter, killing eight people. Disguised in a police uniform, he then travelled to the island of Utøya, taking the lives of sixty-nine young participants at a summer camp in a mass shooting. From that day and in the decade that followed, Ole John Aandal photographed the view from his balcony overlooking the Government Quarter. Oslo Arkiv gathers a selection of this extensive archive, poignantly tracing how a city learns to endure loss.
Published in a limited edition of 750 signed and numbered copies, this artist’s book stands as Aandal’s most ambitious work to date: a monumental work serving as both memorial and visual archive, wherein grief, attention, and the slow passage of time converge.
