“Mushrrooms also remember” is a reflection on the transformation of matter.
Santiago Doljanin explores the fundamental nature of processes such as disintegration, disappearance, and transformation. He questions what it means for an entity to cease to exist in its original form and what happens to the identity of an object or medium when it fragments, decays, or becomes unrecognizable.
From this perspective, destruction is an ontological process in itself—a transition to new states of existence. Each act of deterioration—whether the dissolution of an image, the wear of magnetic tape, or the colonization of film by fungi—reveals that objects, like the memories they hold, are never static or permanent. They transform, mutate, and generate new realities.“Mushrrooms also remember” does not perceive the end as absolute absence but as a shift in form. Doljanin invites us to reflect on the nature of endings. Nothing truly vanishes; it becomes something else. The work serves as a reminder of the fragility and transience of everything we consider solid, while also affirming that, in decay, new configurations of meaning and existence emerge.

He seeks to recreate the constant change of things as happens in nature, involving random’s processes where he has no absolute control of the consequence.
