"F.U.N.G.I. presents a 'new collection' of fungi based on different parameters than the strickly scientific or botanical. The work crosses boundaries between science and art and touches upon questions relating to existential eclogy, time and the phenomenology of images, as well as the significance of fungi to our lives and planet, on our codependence with nature and on the opportunities it gives us to correct our wrongs if we look for them."
