Abstract
The project The Economy of Survival consists of three separate site-specific art

projects which takes as their point of departure the industrially imploded cities of

Chernobyl (Ukraine) and Detroit (USA), and the consequences related to the

industrial expansion in Kiruna (Sweden), inhabited by the Sami people, the

indigenous people of the Northern Hemisphere. Through artistic practice, the aim

of this research project has been to examine contemporary modes of adaptation

and survival practices in places that undergo deep processes of change.
