Curator's note

Fitting in beautifully with Björk's own fascinations with fungi, as explored in her 2022 album Fossora, Fungi: Web of Life offers a glimpse into a world just beneath our feet. Stephen Axford’s time-lapse photography elevates the natural world to a realm of almost supernatural beauty, capturing these organisms in ways rarely seen.

With Björk’s narration and Merlin Sheldrake’s insights, this film illuminates the intricate connectivity of fungal networks and their profound, often overlooked relationship with our own lives.
