FUNGA PHOTO FEST
Pilzfestspiele Opening
October 6, 2025 — from 7 p.m. — OstLicht Gallery
We are opening the Pilzfestspiele 2025 with an exclusive evening – and invite you to be there when the first spore flies.
At this celebratory vernissage, you'll get a first look at the Funga Foto Fest exhibition – featuring spectacular macro photography, hypnotic time-lapse art, and installations that immerse you deep into the realm of fungi. Conversations will flourish at the bar: about spores, aesthetics, and what fungi have to do with art, research, and the joy of life. And of course, the festival team will introduce themselves – along with several speakers and artists with whom you can chat.
A brief overview of this year's lineup will shed light on the vision behind Pilzfestspielen: Why are we doing all this? And why mushrooms?
An evening to get to know each other, marvel, and toast. Only a limited number of seats are available.
