Soil procession
Flatbread Society is a public artwork in Oslo, Norway taking the form of a Bakehouse, a cultivated grain field & public programming. Initiated by the Futurefarmers, the project invovles a growing constellation of farmers, oven builders, astronomers, artists, soil scientists and bakers aligned through a common interest in the long and complex relation we have to grain.
I spent most of June helping out with the project while living and sailing on the Oslo fjord. The main event at the time was the Soil Procession — a procession of farmers carrying soil from their farms through the city of Oslo to its new home at Losæter. Soil Procession was a ground building ceremony that used the soil collected from over 50 Norwegian farms from as far north as Tromsø and as far south as Stokke, to build the foundation of the Flatbread Society Grain Field and Bakehouse.
