Working directly onto the exterior of the Lyttelton flytower, the artists and a team of twenty assistants planted the north and west face with seedling grass, transforming this landmark on the London skyline into a living installation.

Ackroyd & Harvey have created exhibitions across the world. This was their largest exterior work to date. FlyTower was commissioned by the National Theatre and is presented in association with Artsadmin.
