“I imagine the tree rings as chapters in a book”
What would you say to yourself 100 years from now?
A piece of the Nordmarka forest was cut down to build The Silent Room.
New seeds were planted, and the trees growing will be protected for 100 years.
Every year, one chosen author submits their essay for the future. No guidelines. They are free to write whatever they feel is important for the future generation to know about us.
In 2114, the protected trees will supply the paper that the 100 anthologies will be printed on.
The unpublished manuscripts are resting in The Silent Room for now.
And it makes us think: What would you say to someone like yourself, 100 years from now?
