In 2019 Arild Våge Berge was commissioned to make a public artwork for the new building of Sogn og Fjordane Regional Court and and Sunnfjord and Ytre Sogn land consolidation court in collaboration with Art in Public Spaces (KORO), Norway.
For the making of the installation that now adorns in the foyer of the court building in Førde, the artist travelled through the county previously known as Sogn and Fjordane, now part of Vestland county. Berge collected items and made encounters with persons living and working in the region. The collected material was then used as components for the art installation.
The publication Forhandlingar (negotiations) is a photographic and textual account of the journeys Berge made around the county. The book also contains documentation of the archive of objects Berge built up during this period, and which were used to construct the sculptures and installations in the court foyer.
