As the Mangoes Roll is the first book-length publication on Donna Conlon and Jonathan Harker’s long standing collaboration as video artists. Weaving together Conlon’s background in biology and keen attention to everyday objects with Harker’s background in film and acerbic social commentary, their videos address pressing cultural, sociopolitical, and ecological issues with humor and a trenchant poetic sensibility. While their videos originate from the particular conditions of life in Panama City, Panama, they find broad applicability in the attention they draw to the connections between tropical ecologies, urban transformation, global consumption, and cycles of use and refuse.
