Review - 'Poetics of Soil: Fly Agaric I' in the Observer

“The most spectacular work in the show concerns this secret labour. The artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast take us on a psychedelic film journey underground to reveal the astonishing role of fungi roots in breaking down and recycling dead plant and animal matter to enrich the soil. This flowing network twinkles like a highway by night, glowing with miraculous colours and sending up the life force into a mushroom above, which in turns sheds its spores out across the air – altering the world’s weather. Merlin Sheldrake’s commentary – about the wild intimacies of our coexistence with soil, how being is always being with, and so on – is pure poetry. And the film continues without cease in the most perfect ecological loop.”
— Laura Cumming, The Observer (26 January 2025)
