The official memorials at the sites where 69 people were massacred by right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik in Norway three years ago are to be created by Swedish artist Jonas Dahlberg next year.
He was recently selected from a short list which included British artist Jeremy Deller.
Central to the Dahlberg project is the extraordinary Memory Wound, a 3.5 metre wide fissure in the tip of the Sorbraten peninsula that overlooks the island of Utoya where the massacre took place.
