Tanja Major: Mykobütten – Papier aus Pilzen, Kunst aus Kreisläufen
Since 2016, Tanja Major has devoted herself to the fascinating world of fungi. Her Mykobütten
are made 100% from mushrooms, crafted without wood or cutting down forests. From polypores, trametes, and gill fungi, she creates papers embodying color, texture, and transformation.
The artist combines mycological knowledge with traditional papermaking (including the Japanese Washi technique) and develops her own methods using mushroom pigments and fibers.
What otherwise lives hidden—the mycelium—becomes visible through her work: as an organic network, as an artistic medium, as a symbol of life and impermanence. Major’s works express a symbiotic cooperation with nature and invite viewers to reconsider our place in the ecological system.

Ephemeral Kingdom
– a dance of fragile beauty, depicting birth, brilliance, and decay in the fungal world.
A big thank you goes to Stephen Axford and Catherine Marciniak, the creative force behind Planet Fungi. Their work takes place in the lush rainforest region of eastern Australia, combining Stephen’s world-renowned time-lapse fungus photography with Catherine’s expertise in storytelling and film production. Together, they reveal the fleeting beauty and ecological wonder of fungi, offering viewers a unique insight into nature’s most ephemeral kingdom. Their works have been shown in documentaries, museums, and exhibitions worldwide.
