'For their new work, Afterlife, Ackroyd and Harvey have captured their subjects on a nearby zebra crossing in Vauxhall.

The portraits of these passers-by are imprinted larger than life onto screens of growing grass but are not just pictures of other people in an unusual medium. Looking at these images striding through the gallery and life, we see our own reflections caught briefly in the act of passing on.'
