Oranges Lead Nocturnal Walk

#9. Oranges Lead Nocturnal Walk

A Los Angeles law makes all fruit and vegetables growing over sidewalks “public,” so that even trees rooted in private yards may bear public fruit. The collective Fallen Fruit leads walks and makes maps of public fruit trees in the Los Angeles urban area. Fallen Fruit shows residents how to access a harvest of free food, and criticizes city planning that excludes productive planting on public land such as parks. Fallen Fruit holds jam-making parties using fruit collected from the public portions of the trees; they also produce liquor with public fruit. These products, like their ingredients, belong to the citizens of Los Angeles.

Dec 15, 08	Jack: I wonder where the money from the jam and the liquor goes? The "belong" to the citizens of Los Angeles, yet it is not said who handles te money!
Dec 18, 08	Austin: There is no money exchanged. The project is about bringing people together, talking about ideas, and community building.

Ce qui a trait aux plaisir du goûter, intime, devient une expérience publique. En bord de route d'arrière pays de la République tchèque, depuis belle lurette furent plantés des arbres fruitiers pour ombrager les routes. Et aujourd'hui, cette nourriture est accessible au passant, au cycliste, à la caravane.
