‘Living Mycelium Dunes’ Artwork Installation at the Stedelijk museum Amsterdam
YUME YUME UNVEILS the ‘living Mycelium Dunes ’ – A GROWING ART INSTALLATION AT BURO STEDELIJK TO PRESENT WORLD’S FIRST FULL LOOK IN REISHI™, MYCOWORKS’ PIONEERING MYCELIUM LEATHER.
A debut for a museum to host an installation presenting growing living organisms, YUME YUME's installation at Buro Stedelijk offers visitors the unique opportunity to watch mycelium grow in real time. Creating an unprecedented experience that allows people to observe and feel what it means to produce fashion from natural materials.
Reishi™
Demonstrating our commitment to creating a healthier environment through an ongoing journey of continuously looking for alternative materials. We are proud to present the full look made from Reishi™, the revolutionary leather alternative developed by MycoWorks, the only mycelium biotechnology company rooted in art.
Grown by nature
The 'Living Mycelium Dunes' show a future of fashion where garments are not produced but grown by nature – an important shift in YUME YUME’s design making process. We are learning from the natural world that responds to the needs and uses of our time. The mycelium outfit symbolizes a step towards circular fashion and highlights the possibility of producing beautiful, high-quality clothing without harming the environment.
''YUME YUME's immersive installation at Buro Stedelijk transcends traditional materialization, intertwining a mycelium floor and mesmerizing microscopic mycelium growth videos. In this symbiotic space, the audience becomes part of the mycelium narrative, fostering a connection that transcends mere observation – a true celebration of co-creation and material care'' – Rita Ouédraogo, Buro Stedelijk curator
''Developing YUME YUME designs made with Reishi™ to show at Buro Stedelijk has given MycoWorks the chance to return to its roots: skillfully manipulating mycelium into works of art. Since day one, the team at YUME YUME has appreciated the creative and unexpected properties of mycelium, embracing the endless possibilities and countless forms that it can take on to create this installation together and put on an exhibit on this subject'' – Xavier Gallego, MycoWorks Creative Director
