Park Hyun-sook: Mycosphere

Myco-wrave is a mold world. From the leftover piece of bread on the table to the iron pipes in space stations outside the Earth, they are everywhere we can imagine. More than half the carbon in the northern hemisphere comes from molds, and in the first square meter of soil there are fungi that can bend half the circumference of the earth. There are a lot of molds living in our bodies. But since we've been together for so long, clearly we're not aware of the existence of those lines and boundaries. The fungus is quietly placing itself on the roots of numerous plants in the fields, on the leaves and berries of rice and fields, in the membranes of beer, mushrooms, and in every corner of our body. But the mild, unmarked mold has recently begun to dry out. We have captured the treasures of the mold that moved the world and we have seen one person using medicine and food manufacturing, and we are experiencing a terrible loss as it is weakened by the immunity of the fungus that lived in our country without even knowing whether it was there. They're making violins out of molded wood, collecting mushrooms and building them beyond the packaging and furniture. The vast world of molds that we've forgotten in blind is increasingly revealing. The privacy of molds and the world in which they are intertwined with other beings, we call them "mycopire.".
