The interest to muchrooms is rooted in its dual position in the systematization of living beings inhabiting the planet Earth. Scientists are still arguing about the place of Fungi in the classification – plants or animals, or can be allocated into a separate kingdom.
In addition to this problem, the artist considers the dynamic “growth” of fungal parasites by the example of “blue fungi” invented by him for demonstration of the growth of the “parasite” in the mathematical sequence in correspondence to Fibonacci number series. Thus, the artist demonstrates a “pure” model of parasite development, which has all opportunities for development.
Fibonacci mushrooms may simbolize the development of financial pyramids, the growth of monopoly corporations, the level of corruption and many other parasitic tendencies in society.
