Working directly onto the exterior of the Lyttelton flytower, the artists and a team of twenty assistants will plant 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 will be their largest exterior work to date. FlyTower has been commissioned by the National Theatre and is presented in association with Artsadmin.
