With a PhD in Entomology (the science of insects), contemporary German artist Carsten Höller creates artworks that combine biology, behavioural studies and humanism. In the series Double Mushroom and Giant Triple Mushroom, the artist composes three-dimensional combinations of giant replicas of several types of hallucinogenic and/or toxic mushrooms. The choice of this hybrid form refers to the sensations experienced (the altering of reality and fragmentation of thought) in the case of ingestion.
