FUNGI WORLD
Funga Foto Fest
October 6 to 10, 2025 — Exhibition: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. — OstLicht Gallery
Fungi are ubiquitous – and yet often invisible to us humans.
The exhibition at the OstLicht Gallery showcases the beauty, diversity of forms, and significance of fungi in a completely new way. Breathtaking macro shots, fascinating time-lapse photography, and interactive installations make the hidden world of fungi visible and tangible. A specially curated learning path guides visitors through aesthetic, scientific, and emotional perspectives of mushroom photography—and demonstrates how closely intertwined photography and mycology can be.
The exhibition is accompanied by an exciting supporting program: evening events such as book launches and lectures by the photographers themselves provide in-depth insights. Whether alone or with friends, the Funga Foto Fest is the ideal place to immerse yourself in the world of mushrooms, engage in conversation in a relaxed atmosphere, and network with fellow mushroom enthusiasts.
Children up to 14 years of age are free when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The Funga Foto Fest is part of Austria’s largest biennial photography festival, FOTO WIEN 2025.
