CITRONNE Gallery presents Christina Mitrentse’s solo exhibition "Wood Wide Web". The gallery space is transformed through the artist’s painting and sculptural installation into a peculiar forest environment, where visitors are invited to enter.
Christina Mitrentse is an interdisciplinary artist who incorporates elements from her research in forestry and mycology into her practice. In recent years, her work has revolved around the physical axis and the conceptual chain "Forest – Tree - Trunk - Paper - Book - Fungus - Mycorrhiza - Decomposition - Regeneration", which she initiated in London in 2005. The exhibition "Wood Wide Web" incorporates all the creative manifestations of the same theme. Mitrentse’s forest is composed of paintings and sculptures made from old books, collages of "controversial" books and, likewise, poisonous mushrooms, tree-trunk seats where mushroom-books sprout from.
