“Compost of Newborns was an experiment between fungus Ganoderma applanatum as the main agency, and scientist J. Philipp Benz who was a fantastic companion for Ganoderma and me ready to go beyond scientific rules, and between me as the artist having a long story with Ganoderma. Additional agencies got involved: carbon emissions from a Daimler car, wood from a maple tree trunk as the home wood our Ganoderma came from, and my hair. The fungus surprised all of us. Ganoderma intertwined with all the different agencies in a specific way, no matter how toxic they might be. She created with her mycelium body a new microbiome.”
