Carsten Holler
Mushroom, 2004
1814
Suite of 12 color photogravure prints on Somerset paper. In 2000 Carsten Höller presented an exibition, "Upside-Down Mushroom Room" which featured enourmous, fabricated red and white fly-agaric mushrooms, their stalks fixed to the ceiling, slowly rotating in a mesmerising way. Höller's use of mushrooms first appeared in his work in 1994/ 1995, with small scale models of rotating mushrooms. As one of the most important artists of his generation, his work ranges from the purely conceptual to the elaborately architectural. This later work features mushrooms in a series of 12 Photogravure Prints which reflect on this theme, where he is continuously looking to question human behavior, logic, altered states of mind, and even offering the possibility for self-exploration in the process.
