Fallen Fruit use fruit – and public spaces and archives – to explore the limitations and boundaries of what is considered familiar. They reconfigure interstitial urban spaces, bodies of knowledge, and new forms of citizenship. Much of their work is linked to ideas of place and generational knowledge, and it echoes a sense of connectedness with something very primal – our capacity to share the world with others.
David Allen Burns and Austin Young are the artist duo Fallen Fruit. Together, they celebrate two decades of collaboration in art, reflecting on the evolution of the Los Angeles art scene and the rise of social practice artists. They highlight their Fallen Fruit project, which maps public fruit trees and engages communities. They also reflect on environmental activism through art in Tel Aviv, community mapping initiatives, and more.
