FALLEN FRUIT is an ongoing collaborative art project that began with creating maps of the fruit trees growing on or over public property in Los Angeles and other American cities. The project has expanded to include Public Fruit Jams in which we invite the citizens to bring homegrown or public fruit and join in communal jam-making; Nocturnal Fruit Forages, nighttime neighborhood fruit tours; Public Fruit Tree Adoptions that invite the public to plant trees on the margins of private property; seminars/lectures at CalArts, UCLA, UCIrvine, Loyola Marymount University, College of Santa Fe, Otis Art Institute, Elam Art School, Auckland, Materials & Applications and Telic Gallery. Our visual images include an ongoing series of narrative photographs and video works that explore the social and political implications of our relationship to fruit and world around us.
