It Shouldn't Have Legs by Fauna Circus.
6 beings, 14 legs? Time lapsing fungus and a chair with real hair…
A web of vibrant mycelium sculpts a surrealist meta landscape, tangling six artists as they connect and disconnect from their surroundings and from each other. One feels nostalgic of real touch, of dirty hands. Another is captivated by the possibilities of future invention. Someone is stuck still. They are focused on something, a mushroom growing perhaps… one is a mushroom? Another searches, shedding their skin, itching in it as they find their way through passing time. Besides them somebody seems content.
Hopeful for harmony, this piece explores symbiosis, from that found in nature to that we cultivate, and the connectivity between us all.
Jump Down The Rabbit Hole
"The Mushroom at the end of the world"
Popping up in areas of ruin, to recycle, re-use and regenerate an environment, in an explosive and colourful bloom that is often edible even delicious! Sometimes gross, disturbing and unearthly and just sometimes...capable of inducing life changing visions...
Is this not just us artists, are we serving the same purpose as mushrooms?
