A Second Skin - Phil Ross | a film by ReD Associates

ReD Associates' original short film, A Second Skin, is part of its special series on flesh, which looks at how novel applications of natural materials, specifically mycelium, challenge our categories around beauty, material production, and innovation. A Second Skin grapples with these themes through the story of Phil Ross, co-founder of MycoWorks, a California-based technology company that produces fungal mycelium for some of the world’s most iconic fashion houses. Phil’s approach bridges conceptual art and philosophy with bio-tech and material production, and forms, in short, a blueprint for a new way of making with nature.
