Trophic Verses explores the life and phenomena in and around the Earth’s body of soil in a dialogue between art and science. The soil reader brings together artists, curators, researchers, and farmers involved in the long-term project initiated by artist Teemu Lehmusruusu. The book maps an ongoing process through the participants’ approaches, knowledges, experiences, and artworks.
