ARTIST STATEMENT:
Circe’s Mycelium is a screen performance curious about embodied states of meditation, hypnotic trance, ecstasy, and archaic enthusiasm. It is an embodied exploration of mycelial networks in the Psilocybe mushroom genus, finding its conceptual roots in Haraway’s SF and Deleuze and Guattari’s Rhizome
