I found Carsten Holler's work in another part of Art and today but thought that it was still applicable to this weeks topic. This piece in particular is representational of a realism and anti-realism which i found compelling to view. The sense of anti-gravity and size compromise the realism of the giant mushrooms. however the detail used in creating them is such that they have to be big to appreciate the detail.

I love this work!!! A complete flip on reality... giving extra meaning to the notion of magic mushrooms!
Great Lachlan.
