bacilli
Focusing on soil, people, and food, and creating spaces and environments that connect us to them, the artist collective “World Soil Association” formed by Yoshitaka Nanjo, James Jack, and Shotaro Yoshino in 2014 will be renamed “bacilli” in 2022. The term “bacilli” is a classification of organisms that grow in soil. It refers to common germs and bacteria such as fungi and cyanobacteria.
