Carsten Höller — Doppelpilzvitrine (24 Doppelpilze)
Carsten Höller

Doppelpilzvitrine (24 Doppelpilze)

A sleek glass vitrine houses 24 meticulously crafted double-headed mushroom sculptures, each cast in polyurethane and acrylic to create uncanny, hyper-realistic replicas. Carsten Höller's *Doppelpilzvitrine (24 Doppelpilze)* presents these conjoined fungi as specimens of an impossible natural order, blurring the boundary between scientific display and surreal imagination. The work reflects Höller's ongoing fascination with perception, biology, and the disorienting potential of the familiar made strange.
