Warning! Reading Can Seriously Damage Your Ignorance!

Warning! Reading Can Seriously Damage Your Ignorance!


Warning! Reading Can Seriously Damage Your Ignorance!

 This playful play on words was the title of our first installation, celebrating art, nature and the importance of books. Parodying an instantly recognizable government health warning, the aim of the title was to light-heartedly bring books to mind, and remind us how important for our minds they really are.

Over the weeks leading up to World Book Day, celebrated on the 23rd of April, the day that the world lost Cervantes, our creation gradually came to life!

First, mystical trees grew up the walls and their branches began to rise and stretch towards each other, forming arches with their boughs, but the leaves that sprouted were not what a normal tree would produce, but the leaves of books, and books were the fruit they bore.


As time moved on our scene evolved, autumn leaves began to rest upon the ground, and beneath every leaf, little surprises hidden from the world: mushrooms and toadstools, insects and worms, all thriving under a golden carpet of slow decay!
