The French philosopher Jaques Derrida's concept of Hantologie [from the French word hanté / haunted] points to the fact that all existence also consists of what once was, but which we cannot see. Ontology is the philosophy of what exists, and of forms of existence. When "hantologie" is pronounced in French, it sounds like "ontologie". What exists is haunted by what no longer exists, places we seek are both alive and dead at once. 

The art project Fremtidens Levninger engages with the haunted dimension in our lives.

It is about the return of the psychological and political mechanisms that are brought to life with today's pandemic. In the state of emergency of our time, there are a number of inherent stories that resonate with previous epidemics.

60,000 people are buried in Sofienbergparken. They are remains from when the park was Oslo's largest burial ground. Sofienberg burial ground was laid out in 1858, after the cholera epidemic in 1853, and functioned as a cemetery until 1931. Occasionally weather conditions and tele push remnants of bones from the ground.

In the spring of 2020, eight artists were invited to enter into a dialogue with the remnants in the park. The artistic contributions to the Fremtidens Levninger give the haunted form.

The use of text in visual art, fiction, poetry and performative expressions are elements in the invited artists' practices. The website, designed by Studio Boi, exhibits the artists contribution to the project.
