BOOKWORMS

 

Ackroyd & Harvey


PLAY VIDEO

 

A conversation between the artists and antiquarian booksellers, Chris and Michèle Kohler, with a slowly evolving time-lapse film celebrating the digestive power of earthworms, the legacy of book collecting and the plain unpredictability of life.

 

Ackroyd and Harvey make ambitious works that juxtapose natural forces of growth and decay with artifice, control and randomness, creating time-based interventions that frequently reflect both scientific and architectural concerns. They are acclaimed for their groundbreaking work with the light sensitivity of seedling grass and its ability to record complex photographic images, creating unique works that articulate the seductions of time and visibility.
