Our world in relation to fruit
Fruit season has arrived and the Fallen Fruit collaborative has absolutely caught our eye!
The work of Fallen Fruit, as organized by David Burns, Matias Viegener and Austin Young, uses photography, video, performance and installations to focus on urban public spaces, neighborhoods and communities -- all in relation to fruit.
As stated in the mini documentary below, fruit is a positive, consistent and universal currency connecting different cultures, generations, historical periods. The collective looks at fruit as a common denominator to help change the way we see the world.
A must-watch!
