Norwegian Artist Matias Faldbakken Selected to Make a National Memorial for 22 July in Oslo, Norway
With his proposal titled "Upholding", the Norwegian artist Matias Faldbakken has won the international competition to design the National 22 July Memorial in the new Government Quarter in Oslo, Norway. The rig will be filled with a monumental mosaic made of stone; its imagery is taken from the island of Utøya – a drawing of a small wader, reeds and twigs, reflected in the waters of the Tyrifjord.
