A treasure lays dormant under thick layers of earth. A scent barely making it to the surface, undetectable to human senses, but incredibly present to the powerful sniffer beings among us. A root, a bulb, perhaps a fungi of some kind. Let this be the treasure that fulfills the feeling of an empty stomach that I feel for a while now. As a year went by, it has left me exhausted. Forcefully I have been hibernating while in hypertension and alertness to try to get a sense of ever changing circumstances. Let this find be the one, that once and for all changes my fortune to the better…
 
Broadcasted over five days, MycoTV returns for its third edition featuring commissions by Zoë Claire Miller, Philipp Timischl, Mona Varichon in collaboration with Jacob Eisenmann and Bruno Zhu. Expect themes ranging from a survey of the life of three Polly Pocket dolls to an homage to reality TV; an exploration of the Cité internationale des arts in Paris to the daily dramas of a rich variety of animal protagonists and a road trip through a pre-pandemic United States.

As the winter is almost there, leaves of trees and shrubs have slowly turned brown, and begun a new adventure. Various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue and brown have passed the stage, transferred into a blanket covering an almost frozen ground. The northern hemisphere has faded further away from the sun, allowing for temperatures to drop – while in the southern part, summer has arrived. An abundance of moist, allows for the leaves to slowly decompose into mulch, forming essential nutrients for all sorts of live that terraforms our soil. Mycelium, bacteria, worms and insects disassemble the complex result of photosynthesis back to carbon dioxide and water. Through this carbon cycle the once fierce green leaves are being digested and made available to become a plant again next spring.

 

We want to take this periodical environmental rot as an opportunity to digest the past year. We have had the pleasure of receiving many guests in a slightly haunted house located in Athis-Mons, a suburb of Paris. For this occasion we come together one more time to spend the shortest days of the year together with a program of performances, readings, screenings, music and much more, all collided into MYCO-TV.
