A Fungus Garden

Local Fungi That Look Like Human Body Parts (2020)

Juan Ferrer (CL)

Dieser Text ist nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar.

Digital installation composed of 3D models and a video that puts human body parts in conversation with a variety of mushrooms that grow in Chile. Our bodies are a fertile substrate for a complex microbiota that makes us who we are; this work aims to recreate a fungus garden within them, and to generate consciousness about the interconnection mycelium provides in nature.
