Forest Wisdom
Sophie Brotman

Forest Wisdom is a historical, cultural and visual exploration of the most diverse and complex organism known and unknown to us. Fungi are fundamental to our existence, be it a force of natural selection, a medicinal cabinet, a carrier of fire, a worshipped fruit, a god, a devil, a forest-wide communicator, or a restorative powerhouse. Their networks grow within their best interest, decentralized from a single brain and more as an environmentally-specific organization. They are ever present, and yet they cannot be seen.

The project includes an identity for Actar Books as well as an immersive interactive installation.
