«It was - it is - there comes a column» (Norwegian: Det var - det er - det kommer en søyle). One of three parts of a textile installation made by the artist Gitte Dæhlin (1956 - 2012) at the University Library in Tromsø, Norway. Four persons (one is hidden behind the column) represented by 4 pairs of legs coming out of the column. They represent 4 different cultural anchorings, each one reading their own paper. They are faceless, or the faces are hidden in the centre of the column, giving the perception that the reading encapsulates each and one of them in their own world.
