Experiment 01/08: inserting fungus nervosa

hongo   bench

research of the fungus resistance of Mérida/Yucatan Mexico
on invitation of the Museum MACAY
for the project
Hermandades escultóricas. Alemania –México. Diálogo estético 2008
curated by
Jimena Espejo - Minerva Anguiano - Kerstin Erdmann

The mission of the institute is to research into the essence of the "swelling force":
the all empowering force of life.
Our latest project will see us spread a fast growing fungus at various public locations
in Mérida. This fungus feeds on air pollution and needs little to no water.
We will be investigating just how quickly it will expand and contaminate the whole
city, with special consideration of the very specific climate in this part of Mexico.
