In August 2013, five young Latvian artists decided to leave their money and credit cards at home and headed off to an area called Dzelzava, located 200 kilometers away from Riga. During their 10-day stay there, they decided to simulate a financial apocalypse, where money would have no value whatsoever. They drew their inspiration for living a more sustainable life from the suggestions made in The Great Transition. Will they really be able to form a relationship with the local community that can help them survive in the countryside, simply by employing their artistic capacity?
