About the Project.

 

The making of a research based exhibition about Organisation Todt and the use of forced labor in Norway 1940-45 at the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology was presented and given to me as an option for the Master project. The project is to be conveyed to the general public by way of a large exhibition to open in January 2017. Senior researcher Ketil Andersen is currently working on a monography on Organization Todt in Norway and is at the same time curating the exhibition. The research project called Politics of Space and the Grossraum exhibition is going to be developed during workshops and laboratories led by Senior researcher Ketil Andersen, researcher Ingebjørg Eidhammer and Geir Christiansen as the head of the construction team. My role as a scenographer in the project is to develop the exhibition space and find new ways of displaying objects and explore the capacities of the historical material to tell stories in a physical, spatial way.
