For the 64th edition of the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, Italy, British artist Tai Shani presented a site-specific sculpture installation inspired by her research into psychedelics, feminism, and myth. The installation, part of Shani's Neon Hieroglyph project, portrays a benevolent ghost adorned with lucky charms and tears, exploring the history of ergot, a fungus from which LSD is derived. Through this, Shani delves into the intertwining narratives of hallucinations caused by ergot infections across Europe, particularly on the Italian island of Alicudi, where stories of ghosts and witches emerged.

madFaber produced the main body of the sculpture from sculpted styrene, a fibreglass coat and finished with a gloss paint. And the tubing details that surround the main body.
