The art work is installed at the entrance of what was previously Vidkun Quisling's residence in Oslo during the German occupation of Norway.

It chisels out subjects that may be identified and quantified in the next round.« - Jon-Ove Steihaug The installation artist Arnold Dreyblatt is renowned for his media- and archive-supported works concerned with cultural memory that cross the boundaries between new and traditional media. This book is published on the occasion of the installation of Arnold Dreyblatt's permanent work, »Innocent Questions« in front of the Center for Studies of Holocaust and Religious Minorities in Oslo, Norway in 2006.
