Cucumber, Journeys: How travelling fruit, ideas and buildings rearrange our environment, Lev Bratishenko

Journeys and translation
Although immigration is a dominant topic in contemporary culture, its discussion is often limited to the human experience, such as the crossing of borders and issues about national identity. Journeys takes a different perspective: how movements impact the environment. Examples range from the coconut that can drift freely on the ocean current and re-seed wherever it finds(...)
