Limited edition of 750 signed and numbered copies 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. Beginning as an act of observation, the project becomes a ritual of mourning. Weather, light, and landscape shift through the seasons, while the trauma remains just beneath the surface. In this measured rhythm of looking, Aandal captures the persistence of memory and the quiet beauty of a city rebuilding itself under ever-changing skies. Across 480 pages, Oslo Arkiv transforms repetition into reflection, inviting readers to move back in time as both witnesses and participants in a shared process of remembrance. 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.
