Decomposer Syndicate
Pukki Leena
It is the year 2070. With the changes in the economic system and rationalisation of consumption, various decomposer organisms have become even more important to society. Fungi have taught humans how to communicate between different species. Pennant flags are back in fashion. The activist group Decomposer Syndicate has gathered to write a manifesto. The installation shows a meeting room of an activist group called Decomposer Syndicate. The atmosphere is expectant, the syndicate members have left for a moment and will return any minute.
