Fungi have entered the chat
Between the lips or in a bowl. Mushrooms, mold, and contamination. Fungi grow from computer screens – between sterile environments and humidity
Stefan Dotter focuses on mushrooms and mold growing in places they don’t belong. Close-ups of mushrooms with wet surfaces. Egg white shares the texture and sheen of saliva and carries its own charge: potential, connection, what holds things together before they separate.
Saliva is the body’s first contact with food and with other bodies. It softens, coats, begins to break.. Egg white does the same. It sits on the surface and starts a process.
Mold works on time. It starts at one point, spreads, covers, takes over. The contamination is quiet, almost gentle. It shows the beauty of the raw, in places no one looks for it.
