Oslo, Future Library Framtidsbiblioteket<\/strong>. A surreal and ethereal project by Katie Paterson, almost visionary. She challenges the laws of time and space, that intertwines nature and words through an indissoluble thread, consecrating them to eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a library where, for a hundred years, every year, a new book will be added but only author and title are known<\/strong>. The texts will be available for consultation starting to 2114.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The books of the Future Library<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The books will be printed on paper made from the thousand spruce trees that grow in the Nordmarka<\/strong> forest, on the outskirts of the capital, specially planted for the project. The stories will \u201csleep\u201d enclosed in transparent glass capsules <\/strong>engraved with the authors\u2019 names and titles. They are in the Silent Room, a room with a view on the forest, with curved walls entirely covered in wood at the new headquarters of the Deichmanske Public Library, currently under construction in Bj\u00f8rvika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
