In 2014, artist Jonas Dahlberg won the government competition to create the national memorials for the July 22, 2011 massacre. Titled Memory Wound, his planned memorial to the Utøya massacre, would have dramatically cut a channel across the Sørbråten peninsula, which faces the Utøya Island. Proposing to create ‘a wound or a cut within the landscape’ to symbolise the feeling of loss, the plan evoked a mixed response from a group of local residents, resulting in the cancellation of the project. Dahlberg’s new work, Notes on a Memorial, is a film about the process and politics around the 3-4 years working on these memorials.

Jonas Dahlberg (b. 1970) is an artist based in Stockholm working with a diverse practice at the intersection between art and architecture, the personal and the political.
