Program

The Adam Mickiewicz Institute presents The MYCOsystem at the XXII International Exposition of La Triennale di Milano. This installation represents Polish design’s response to the theme of “Broken Nature: Design takes on Human Survival”.

The immersive installation presents the relationship between trees, fungi, and man. The MYCOsystem is a workshop for reflection on a new paradigm of sustainability and design that goes beyond simply imitating the cycles of nature: an approach that abandons the anthropocentric idea of producing, accumulating, consuming and discarding objects and instead looks towards their eventual return to the natural cycle of material transformation.

Curators: Agata Szydłowska, Małgorzata Gurowska, Maciej Siuda
