Louise Bourgeois and Peter Zumthor: Steilneset Memorial: To the Victims of the Finnmark Witchcraft Trials

This book documents a unique collaboration between the artist Louise Bourgeois (1911â€“2010) and the architect Peter Zumthor (born 1973). The Steilneset Memorial, opened in 2011, is a monument in VardÃ¸, Norway, commemorating the 17th-century trial and execution of 91 women for witchcraft.
The brainchild of the National Tourist Routes project in Norway (a government-sponsored initiative which aims to attract visitors to remote but exceptionally beautiful locations), the Steilneset Memorial started out as a modest monument to honor the victims of the witchcraft trials, to be built on the site where the burnings originally took place. But the project, which would be Bourgeoisâ€™ last major work, grew in the hands of Zumthor and Bourgeois into two distinct, haunting structures.
