TRIBUTE TO PETER ZUMTHOR
Steilneset Memorial. Vardø, Norway.
Peter Zumthor and Louise Bourgeois
In memory of those persecuted in the seventeenth-century Finnmark Witchcraft Trials, the Steilneset Memorial rests along the jagged coastline of the Barents Sea in Vardø, Norway.
Collaboration between the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor and the contemporary artist Louise Bourgeois.
Zumthor simply describes his collaboration with Bourgeois:
“I had my idea, I sent it to her, she liked it, and she came up with her idea, reacted to my idea, then I offered to abandon my idea and to do only hers, and she said, ‘No, please stay.’ So, the result is really about two things — there is a line, which is mine, and a dot, which is hers… Louise’s installation is more about the burning and the aggression, and my installation is more about the life and the emotions [of the victims].”
