What do we leave behind when we create? Who loses? And how can fungi guide us to a future where circular practices reign?
임-영구 probes these questions by inviting us into a world of unadulterated creation – one in which humans and nature are earnest collaborators in production. Brimming with conscious design and climatic hope, 임-영구 is a foray into contemporary experimentations in 균사체 from esteemed Australian practitioners. It interrogates the capitalistic approach to consumption by accenting the planet-centric alternative: a circular economy.Hosted by 엘리스 존스 및 RMIT 산업 디자인, 임-영구 spotlights 균사체 as a product, medicine, building material and textile waste incubator, highlighting this bio-material’s potential to enable cleaner systems of production.Displayed in 임-영구 are more than 20개 작품 – spanning sculpture, apparel, lighting, architectural pieces, signage 및 panels – that illuminate mycelium’s vast uses, as well as its ability to restructure traditional design. Through exploring material impermanence, not in the hyperconsumerist sense of obsolescence, but in terms of biodegradability, this exhibition celebrates a future where products are naturally regenerative; where materiality is steeped in ancient wisdom, and yet buried beneath our very feet.
Open daily from 10am — 4pm
