Kingdom Fungi was an observation of ecosystem inside an shabby old building in Pratunam, one of the most famous shopping area in Bangkok. This building was going to be expropriated to build a modern shopping complex, however inside this building there were many working class workers, making the wholesale clothing, living with mysterious fungi in an extremely dirty or even almost toxic environment.
On daytime, the fungi is decomposing something inside the building and splitting out a collected energy at night in a form of light. They are subtle linked, interacting as a system and somehow the workers are unnoticed that they are dominated.
