NVISIBLE.STUDIO is the independent research practice of Finnish filmmaker and visual artist Emilia Tapprest (b. 1992). Arriving from an industrial design background, she turned to cinema as a means to engage with the complexity and intensity of embodied, lived experiences. Drawing these two fields together, she explores ways in which designed systems, infrastructures and interfaces interact with us in affective- and preconscious ways. With a collaborative design degree at the Aalto University in Helsinki, Tapprest graduated in 2019 from the Sandberg Institute’s temporary film department. Previous resident of the Jan van Eyck academy and  FilmForward, her collaborative work has been presented at international platforms such as Kunstverein Schattendorf, Impakt Festival, Vdrome, VISIO European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images, Bologna Art City, Extended Senses and the National Space Centre Ireland. She is part of the world-building research duo Liminal Vision and is currently based in Amsterdam.

‘Hygrocybe citrinovirens’, also known as citrine waxcap, is a mushroom belonging to the waxcap genus Hygrocybe. Waxcaps are typically vibrantly colored, characterised by an agaric type of fruiting body with sticky caps, white spores and smooth, ringless stems. Like other Hygrophorus species, Hygrocybe citrinovirens form close symbiotic relations with the roots of living trees. Its conservation status is threatened worldwide, partly caused by the closure of open areas, construction and chemical side effects.
