FUTURE LIBRARY Turning leaves From this young forest in southern Norway, a future generation of book lovers will harvest never-before-published works by award-winning authors In the Norwegian forest of Nordmarka, just 10km north of Oslo, 1,000 young trees are growing. <strong>The</strong>se spruce saplings have a very specific purpose: in the year 2114 – 100 years after they were planted – their wood will be used to create 100 as-yet-unpublished books. <strong>The</strong> Future Library is the brainchild of Scottish-born visual artist Katie Paterson. “I had this idea of a visual connection, imagining a tree’s rings being like chapters in a book,” she says. “I imagined Come back in 94 years’ time – there’s not much to read here right now From left: Margaret Atwood and Katie Patterson; the Silent Room these trees growing, but also physically growing chapters over time and becoming a forest full of words.” Each year of the project, Paterson and her team will collect a work of literature from an iconic author, and these will be held in a specially designed chamber – the Silent Room – at Oslo City Library until the date of publishing. Canadian author Margaret Atwood was the first writer to contribute to the Future Library, donating her unread novel Scribbler Moon in 2014. “It was very clear that Margaret Atwood would be the most phenomenal author to begin with, because of her relationship to time, nature, technology and the climate, and the activism in her work,” says Paterson. “We reached out in a letter to invite her, and she said yes very quickly, which was phenomenal.” Since the project’s launch, five others have donated their works: British author David Mitchell; Icelandic writer, poet and lyricist Sjón; Turkish novelist, academic and women’s rights activist Elif Shafak; South Korean author and poet Han Kang; and Norwegian writer Karl Ove Knausgård. “We don’t read the manuscripts, of course,” says Paterson, “but Margaret Atwood’s and David Mitchell’s were quite weighty, and Han Kang’s felt a little bit like a short story. Of course, this is all speculation.” This year’s contribution had not yet been announced as we went to print. Most people alive today, however, won’t get the chance to read the books in the Future Library. “It’s not for us, it’s for people who aren’t born yet; we’re thinking ahead to that generation,” says Paterson. “It’s tempting to wonder what has been written, but most of us will never have those words. For now, it’s only the authors who have them in their minds.” futurelibrary.no BJØRVIKA UTVIKLING BY KRISTIN VON HIRSCH, GIORGIA POLIZZI, ATELIER OSLO, LUND HAGEM, KATIE PATERSON, 2017.
