Isotop Fellesatelier, Bergen
In, All Overgrown by Cunning Moss, the language of museum display was used to reveal the symbolic, mystical and psychological potential of ready made and fabricated artifacts in context. The resulting collection evoked bodily metamorphosis between different states, inspired by myths of human-nonhuman transformation and hermetic amd alchemical philosophies of substance.
