This project is a site-specific art projects in the slaughterhouse area outside Stockholm inner city. This part of town is in heavy gentrification and has a great cultural heritage with old Art Nouveau buildings.
Ikea who owns the green metro line passing the area has grand plans to open the doors of a new store. These plans have completely passed openness principle. The capitalistic power over public planning is difficult to ignore.
Issues such as cultural heritage versus the unlimited progress of capitalism and consumerism in modern society is debated in this piece of art.
The exhibition was held in the slaughterhouse area to integrate and approach people both working and living in the area or have some sort of connection to the place.
The exhibition asks questions like;
-What is worth saving for posterity?
-What counts as cultural heritage?
-Have we learned from our past demolition eras?
-What in our time could be tomorrow's cultural heritage?

From the making of the town, the overpainted plastic cover over the windows turned out to be aesthetic interesting. Some puzzling and experimenting turned out to an enlargement of the plastic. The plastic cover turned out to be most interesting when it reproduced itself in a circular repetition. This is a more abstract way of seeing our life from an outside perspective.
