Bryndis Snæbjörnsdóttir and Mark Wilson conduct their collaborative practice from bases in the north of England and Reykjavík, Iceland. With a strong research grounding, their socially engaged projects explore contemporary relationships between human and non-human animals in the contexts of history, culture and the environment. This exclusive interview with leading pioneer of eco-art Newton (and Helen Mayer) Harrison, concerns the Harrisons' lives' work, the launch of their major monograph The Time of the Force Majeure, and urgent issues of ecocriticism and the arts. Text and questions by Snæbjörnsdóttir /Wilson.
