Discover a secret world of fungi with Björk as your guide on a mesmerising 3D adventure spanning the ancient Tarkine Rainforest to China’s Yunnan province.
Follow biologist and writer Merlin Sheldrake on this brilliant round-the-world journey, revealing the hidden life of fungi through dazzling imagery – both under the microscope and in the forest. Discover the vital role these essential organisms play in the web of life as their mysteries unfold before your eyes.
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.
– Reece Goodwin, Curator (Film & TV)
