Honey Fungus offers a new perspective on the relationship between different beings and their environments. The experience challenges traditional notions of individuality and separateness, through its immersive experience and prompts the audience to consider where one body ends and another begins.

Honey Fungus has been shown at Mycological Film Festival (NYC), GBA (NYC), NEW INC (NYC), Hesse Flatow (Chicago), VISUAL Carlow (Ireland), and more.
