Grass art for HSBC and the Wimbledon tennis tournament

For all you Wimbledon fans, this weekend’ finals with be further enhanced with a bit more culture.
Presenting grass art, artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey create “grass photographs” for HSBC’s partnership with the Wimbledon tennis tournament. Harnessing seedling grass light sensitivity, Ackroyd and Harvey, who are known for similar work worldwide, record photographic images by projecting black and white negatives onto grass as it grows in a dark room for 12 hours per day for more than a week. The grass grows in accordance to the modified light exposure, thus the photo “develops” on a living canvas. Personally would have casted Maria Kirilenko rather than the frumpy linesman, but a great idea nevertheless.
