ABERRANT PLEXUS

Zoetica Ebb at Metamorphika Studio November 20 – December 14, 2025

Announcing Aberrant Plexus, an immersive exhibition by Zoetica Ebb in cooperation with Peachthief at Metamorphika Studios.

For three weeks, Ebb and Peachthief transform the gallery into a living research site at IPGL (The Institute For Psychogametous Life) where an alien mycelium infiltrates walls, bodies, and psyche. Rooted in Zoetica’s ongoing engagement with the natural world and speculative biology, the project builds on themes first introduced in her book Chimeric Herbarium and the short film Galea Displodo Interaction.

At Metamorphika, a space dedicated to interconnection, Ebb expands this research into an interactive environment with sound by Takatsuna Mukai, where visitors encounter a rogue fungal intelligence that dissolves the borders of individuality.

The living network extends further. Guest tattoo artists, working as pollinators, translate Ebb’s specimens directly onto the skin of visitors. What begins as a static image on the wall evolves into a mobile, living extension of its recipient.

As part of the exhibition, Japanese avant-garde author, Kenji Siratori [@xenopoem], unveils Xenopoetic Report of Arthropod Vectors. Building on Zoetica Ebb’s concept of psychogametous lifeforms, Siratori’s new book stages language as a mutagenic entity propagating across species, media, and temporalities.

AUXILIARY PROTOCOLS

CRASH SEQUENCE // NOVEMBER 20

Body artists Fung Neo and Laboranta stage a research procedure gone awry.

Visionary choreographer Charlie Jimenez summons hybrid creatures from Chimera – the world from which the mycelium first emerged. Ritual and collapse erupt through movement, an embodied transmission of crash, contamination, and rebirth that pulls the audience into the living core of Aberrant Plexus.

SLIME SUNDAY // SPECTACLE + LIFE DRAWING // NOVEMBER 23

A laboratory experiment in collapse. This life-drawing session invites you to witness organism and host merge as slime entwines with models Séverine and Miss White. Mutating in real time, these protoplasmic bodies refuse capture.

SPORE TRANSMISSION // DECEMBER 13

Aberrant Plexus culminates with an eco-futurist soundscape by Latvian experimental artist, Waterflower. Performing with living mushroom instruments, she channels the voices of the mycelium in a transformative sonic work. The following day, she returns to the gallery to lead a mushroom-music workshop and give an artist talk. 

More TBA.

Aberrant Plexus positions art as organism, fed by the participation of visitors and the wider Metamorphika community. Informed by speculative ecology and emergent forms of regenerative consciousness, the project asks: what does it mean to be human when our future is irreducibly symbiotic?

2025 felt like a surge, a convergence of everything that had been gathering beneath the surface. I stepped into challenges I’d never faced before and risked more than I thought I could. A year of culmination and transformation. With Aberrant Plexus, a dimension that once seemed unreachable became real. To everyone who worked, built, and trusted alongside me this year: thank you. Together we translated static into matter and speculation into tangible form. For the first time, I was able to externalise and share the inner architectures that had lived in me for years. I've launched a website for The Institute for Psychogametous Life: https://psychogametous.com

There is a lot of documentation of the exhibition and the performances staged within it on my Instagram account: https://instagram.com/zoetica/

[IPGL BULLETIN 12.09.25] Strange phenomena persist within the Institute for Psychogametous Life. We do not disclose every study subject. Containment integrity must be maintained. However, those attending DEACTIVATION PROTOCOL this Saturday may glimpse what remains beneath the membrane.

Metamorphika Studio, London Saturday, December 13 / Doors 19:30 Tickets here.

WATERFLOWER: stirs the mycelium awake, translating its voltage into living sound. She returns on Sunday to conduct a mushroom music workshop.

ZAMYARSKI: interfaces directly with Lab C, transforming it into a field of optical resonance and sonic contagion.

ZEROSUN: conduct haunting experiments for post-human frequencies.

MUTSUMINEIRO: all the way from Norway, an unmissable butoh sequence of twin synaptic firings in a correlative flow of motion and consequence.

If curiosity outweighs caution and you truly wish to know what’s been incubating, seek Doctor Taka on site, that will be your final chance for answers before deactivation.

Containment ends at closing.

A ripple of symbolic spread inside IPGL has been documented. If you couldn’t attend the opening night of Aberrant Plexus, consider this your contamination proxy. Don't miss the closing. Psychogametous Transmission Study was performed on November 20, 2025 in the Sensory Pollinarium during my exhibition at Metamorphika Studio, London. This work extends my research into psychogametous lifeforms: theoretical entities that reproduce through the transmission and reinterpretation of symbolic information. Written and directed by Zoetica Ebb Laboranta as Dr. Ichim Fung Neo [ @neofung ] as Dr. Bockowski David Varhegyi as Dr. Ferenczi Sound by Takatsuna Mukai ⁨ Cinematography by Odd Duck Films Psychogametous Transmission Study follows the instant perception expands into communion. The image enters through the eyes and rewrites both mind and body, turning sight into contact and thought into radiant exchange. Within this shared circuitry, gesture, language, and desire reorganise into new configurations linked across innumerable consciousnesses. The host and the organism awaken together, boundaries dissolving in a surge of mutual recognition. Transmission becomes revelation, a state of lucid ecstasy where mind and matter join the endless rhythm of becoming. Psychogametous lifeforms encode biological data into images, texts, and sounds, using human cognition as a host medium, transforming thought and perception into reproductive processes. Unlike memes or linguistic “word viruses,” they manifest physically after informational transmission, blurring distinctions between the living and the representational. Their continual mutation through creative reinterpretation suggests a hybrid form of evolution in which information itself becomes a biological vector, positioning consciousness and culture as active environments for life.

Here, we witness the first observable phase of their life cycle, when symbolic data activates within the host and begins translating cognition into biological form. When Δ-MC7's mycelial lattice threads through Dr. Ichim's sensorium, her perception is refocused through the organism’s own distributed awareness, infinite alien synapses humming in and through her.
