Size | A4/ 297mm*105mm
Speculative Design / Publication / Moving Image This project investigates the fragile boundary between hallucination and truth through the fictional psychoactive substance Psilocybin-D. Combining scientific evidence, personal testimonies, and ritual fragments, it constructs a hybrid archive that looks both bureaucratic and unreliable.
Through the design of classified dossiers, a research booklet, a poster, and a moving image work, the project explores how information is filtered, edited, and mythologized. Scientific data appear beside blurred ritual imagery and altered maps, inviting the viewer to question what is real and what is fabricated.
The visual language borrows from official documentation — kraft paper files, monospaced type, scanned textures — while embedding signs of distortion: redactions, tracing layers, and recurring yellow markers. The result is an immersive investigation that turns design into an act of inquiry.
The Poisonous Mushroom Investigation File ultimately reflects on our relationship with knowledge systems: how authority is constructed, how evidence becomes narrative, and how illusion may reveal deeper truths about perception
and control.
