Tent-installation, 270x300x400 cm, with video and debates, 2017.

The installation is inspired by one of Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi’s bedouin tents. Inside we show his speech to the UN from 2009, with Norwegian subtitles. The title of the work is the number of bombs that Norway dropped on Libya in 2011 and the paragraph from the Constitution of Norway, questioning the legality of the intervention.

We also arranged two debates in the tent in front of The Norwegian Parliament, with some of its prominent and the press. The moderator was Lieutenant colonel Tormod Heier.

The work was supported by The Fritt Ord Foundation.
