Description

In “Penny Bun Helps Save the World,” David Robinson—co-founder of the London street-food institution Sporeboys—presents a unique photographic tale. The story follows a “gang” of mushrooms, led by the protagonist Penny Bun (a Porcini mushroom), as they attempt to save their forest home from developers who threaten their fragile ecosystem. The book is visually distinct due to Robinson’s use of analogue luminograms. By meticulously arranging real mushroom sculptures on photographic paper and exposing them to light in an enlarger, he creates one-of-a-kind prints that capture the natural textures and colors of the fungi, turning a conservation message into a surrealist work of art.
