Mushroom Church (2025)

Live audiovisual performance
Passionskirche, Berlin
Half-dome mapped projection, ~600 attendees

Mushroom Church is an ongoing project by Modern Biology (Tarun Nayar), exploring the intersections of music, nature, and collective experience through performance. I was invited to join the Berlin edition as the visual artist, contributing a site-specific projection mapping and live visual performance.

The event took place in the historic Passionskirche and unfolded as a shared ritual space, featuring musicians, poets, and interdisciplinary artists whose contributions explored mycelial metaphors, natural cycles, and sensory immersion.

My one-hour audiovisual performance was structured in five acts, loosely inspired by the life cycle of mushrooms; from drifting spores and underground networks to organic bloom, surreal landscapes, and eventual return to decay. The visuals were composed from a blend of footage, layered textures, and generative elements, performed live and mapped to the church’s architectural half-dome. This allowed the visuals to interact intimately with the space, enveloping the audience in a slow, evolving atmosphere.

The performance received heartfelt responses from both fellow artists and audience members, many of whom shared that the visuals significantly elevated their experience. Several described it as immersive, emotionally resonant, and deeply in tune with the tone of the evening.
