From the Ground/Sing a Polyphonic Song is an augumented experience that invites audience to explore mushrooms as a lens to view alternative forms of existence beyond the capitalist framework, emphasising fungi's role in ecosystems and as metaphors for interconnectedness and resilience in a world full of uncertainties. By engaging with our senses and oral traditions, we aim to uncover overlooked aspects of life and challenge our perceptions of progress and coexistence. Focusing on urban environments, it seeks to reveal the hidden potentialities of living in our everyday spaces, encouraging a reconsideration of our relationship with the natural world and highlighting the possibilities for more symbiotic forms of living.
The idea of progress in shaping our perception of events and our interpretation of history. Even when faced with evidence of the negative consequences of progress, such as environmental degradation or social inequality, we still tend to view these events within the framework of progress. This project provokes people to notice other temporal possibilities in our living environment, allowing us to look for what has been overlooked/left- behind and the different structures of existence from the ones fuelled by capitalist mind-set
