Humanfungi

Man as a kind of fungus is spreading and destroying the planet. This is a visual fantasy of my infected living space and planetary environment. The project was carried out in collaboration with the Department of Biology, Section of Ecology and Classification, of the National Kapodistrian University of Athens. The fungi which were cultivated belong to the Kingdom of Fungi, arise from Greece as product of a series of isolations performed by the group for fungi research of the Department of Biology of the University of Athens and have been submitted at the ATHUM. The artwork Humanfungi is presented in the frame of the exhibition of MEDinART entitled “Where MEDicine and ART collide. Part One: The Greek Artists”.
