GROWING IN THE SHADOWS
main project for semester topic "Urban Nature"02:10 min, animation an sound installation, 2021
A virtual exploration of three speculative mushrooms in 3d-space. Evergrowing in areas often overlooked by humans, mycelial networks can span for kilometers beneath our feet, often unseen or unnoticed. Being a communicator between different lifeforms, decomposing matter, devouring and recycling dying life to nurture the new, mushrooms are fascinating lifeforms to me, from not just a scientific, but also a culinary and aesthetic viewpoint. "Growing in the Shadows“ is an attempt to make the unseen seen und create a consciousness for the life beneath our feet.
The installation should be viewed on a three screen setup, connected to one computer or media player, playing the simulations one after each other. Modeled, texturized and rendered with blender. Cut in After Effets. Music produced with Ableton.
