#fallenfruit

Fallen Fruit is an art collaboration originally conceived in 2004 by David Burns, Matias Viegener and Austin Young. Since 2013, David and Austin have continued the collaborative work. Fallen Fruit's photography developed by mapping fruit trees growing on or over public property in Los Angeles. Fallen Fruit's photography collaboration has expanded to include serialized public projects and site-specific installations and happenings in various cities around the world. By always working with fruit as a material or media, the catalogue of photography projects and works reimagine public interactions with the margins of urban space, systems of community and narrative real-time experience.                           

Acorn is the fruit of the oak tree. You can roast it, boil it, sautee it. There’s acorn bread, acorn pancakes, acorn pudding. Acorn mush, fried acorn mush, acorn soup. Burr oak acorns, white oak acorns, turkey oak acorns. Acorn tamales, acorn muffins, acorn pie crust...that’s about it. . . . #acorns #wildfood #wildedibles #herbalmedicine #yellowacorns #freefood #fallenfruit #fall https://www.instagram.com/p/B3EGgHwFXzi/?igshid=1vbgipfzquaae

In the eyes of Fallen Fruit—aka artists David Burns and Austin Young—everyone in the world is connected by produce. “It crosses every cultural boundary on the planet—it doesn’t matter how rich or poor you are, everyone still eats the same banana,” said Burns. The duo’s work has consistently taken fruit as a subject for serious inquiry into the thin boundaries between public and private property. They explore the ways in which things like melons, lemons, and berries tell stories about the people who consume them. http://www.artnews.com/2019/01/09/15-los-angeles-artists-watch/

Harvesting hickory nuts for the midwinter wild food feast. It’s a squirrelly business. . . . . #wildfood #wildfoodlove #wildedibles #edibleplants #hickorynuts #nuts #fallenfruit #foraging #gathering https://www.instagram.com/p/BqyFCqyhaYR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3or4irrey4fh

A pair of pears. Wild/feral fruit right now in Lexington includes apples, pears, and elderberries. I'm thinking of making some jam and cider that include all three. Planning another wild/microlocal food dinner party for the end of next week. . . . . #pair #pear #pare #orphanorchard #fallenfruit

Blue berries! Or you know, green berries. I have this term, "the orphan orchard", that i use to refer to all the fruit bearing perrenials around where i live that people planted and no longer maintain or harvest from. There are hundreds, probably thousands, of fruit trees and nut trees and berry bushes around lexington. . . . . #permaculture #feraledibles #feralfood #fallenfruit #orphanorchard

Blackberries (green non-berries) starting to get ripe. These were such a staple of my diet as a kid, fresh for summer snacks but we also froze them by the gallon and dried them into fruit leather and made them into preserves. Some of our neighbours made wine of them. . . . . #wildedibles #wildfoodlove #fallenfruit #blackberries
