Aleksandra Mir (born 1967) is a Swedish-American[1] contemporary artist known for her large scale collaborative projects and for her anthropological methods, involving rigorous archival research, oral history and field work.

[2] Her work deals with travel, time, placehood, language, gender, identity, locality, nationality, globality, mobility, connectivity, performativity, representation, transition, translation and transgression.

[16][17] In First Woman on the Moon (1999), Mir converted a Dutch beach into a moonscape for one day with the help of bulldozers.

[26][27][28][29][30][31] Mir has created a series of large scale murals using only Sharpie marker pens.

[32] In Triumph she collected 2529 trophies from the general public of Sicily and exhibited them all in one installation at the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt (2009).
