At Svolvær Torg a sculpture shaped like a rose-painted container with an interior decorated like a bunker, will be open to the public.

Inside this bunker, an audiovisual work is shown, including an extract from Jens Stoltenberg's speech to the United States Congress as Secretary General of NATO, with the closing remarks - it's good to have friends.

Outside, rose paint covers all sides of the container, including its roof, alluding to the concept of beautiful painting, linking it to a traditional Norwegian/Scandinavian craft. In Norwegian context, rose painting is often associated with the country's nation-building practices starting in the 19th century.

The back of the container includes a brass sign with the inscription: «All mentioned, all forgotten». The names of the countries in which Norway has actively participated in hostilities is painted above this inscription. Underneath is a wreath. The text is a word play and ought to be seen in connection with the memorial outside Bodø Cathedral, for fallen Bodø parishioners of the Second World War. The original text reads «None mentioned, none forgotten».

The container is linked to Norway's participation, and subsequent excuses, in international military operations, and the country's growing influence on the global stage through global trade and aid. The interior construction is inspired by Bodø's many bunkers from the Second World War and the ongoing debate about Bodø as a Scandinavian NATO capital.
