we shall by morning inherit the Earth a newly commissioned installation presents a monoculture landscape, slowly and decisively claimed by fungi, which, in the near future, are destined to inherit the Earth. This gradual conquest unfolds within the soundscape and on the screen, where a video portrait of one of these stumps is shown as it becomes gradually colonized by Heterobasidion fungi.

More installation shots will be shared soon.

In collaboration with Dr. Matteo Garbelotto, Director Forest Pathology and Mycology Lab, U.C. Berkeley.

Commissioned by Het Nieuwe Instituut.
