Intro
I use my own imagination. In order to transform the material into brooches without changing its surface, I include teak wood from a coffee table and zinc-plated iron sheets found at a garbage dump in the city.

Artist list

Philipp Spillmann
When I roam the forests looking for mushrooms, I often find unexpected objects; remains of human activity. The forest leaves its mark on the surfaces over time. I don't know how these objects ended up there. They are carriers of their own stories. Coffee pots, tools, sardine cans, golf balls, thermos bottles; they become part of a growing collection.

Mushrooms are only the visible fruit bodies of fungi. The majority of the fungal organism lives in the soil interwoven with tree roots as a vast network of mycelium, which connects individual plants together to transfer information, water, nitrogen and minerals. Other fungi are parasites on living organisms or decomposers of dead organic matter. Forests are vulnerable and threatened. Without mushrooms there is no forest.


Visiting hours: Tuesday – Sunday, 12.00 – 16.00 h.
