Honey, I watered the screen
In the Anthropocene, most human-made products are used only for a tiny fraction of their actual life span, living longer as waste than in use, surviving the humans that create them.
Each object in this series has outlived its original function. We used these discarded items as vessels to inoculate with mycelium. There is something deeply unsettling and at the same time satisfying about the act of watering a screen, a toaster, a radio, a child's toy and watching them grow. After a few days, hybrid entities begin to emerge. These organic grafts suggest the possibility of improbable and surprising symbioses in a tinkered future where humans will have to rub shoulders with the living differently.
The 55 images of this series come from several successive harvests.
This project is the result of a collaboration with Australian designer Stella Lee Prowse and Swiss designer Miriam Josi.
