Roseslottet, Installation artwork in Holmenkollen, Norway
Description
Roseslottet is an art installation in a forest near Oslo featuring approximately 300 works in various forms. The collection includes sculptures and large-scale paintings distributed throughout the wooded landscape.
History
The installation emerged from reflection on Norway's experience during World War II, particularly the five years of occupation from 1940 to 1945. Five golden constellations within the installation mark this significant historical period.
Culture
Created by brothers Vebjørn and Eimund Sand, the installation explores themes of freedom and democratic values through art placed in nature. As you walk among the works, you encounter perspectives on law and human rights woven into the forest setting.
Practical
The site is accessible during daylight hours, and sturdy footwear is recommended since the paths wind through the forest with varying terrain. Plan your visit during good weather and allow time to explore the artworks at a leisurely pace.
Did you know?
The installation presents a contrasting view of totalitarian systems by using artistic works to underscore the importance of democratic freedoms. This approach transforms the experience into something more than just art scattered through the forest.
