Carsten Hu00f6ller is especially attracted to the Amanita muscaria due to its own cultural, historic, and religious significance, which is actually closely linked to its hallucinogenic properties and also striking visual charm. The Belgian musician's fascination with fungi stems from his clinical background-- he keeps a doctorate in agricultural science as well as previously carried out study in entomology just before looking to art. Through sizing up the elaborate frameworks and also biological functions of these mushrooms, Hu00f6ller monumentalizes all of them in everyone area of Spot Vendu00f4me. His approach to dividing and also reassembling forms right into brand-new crossbreed facilities mirrors his previous jobs, such as the spatial departments in The Double Nightclub and also the mirrored surfaces of Gates.
