Sunmin Park becomes a small creature, akin to an insect, moving slowly to closely observe the hidden ecosystem of mushrooms within the vastness of nature.
The clusters of mushrooms, with their pillars and roofs, resemble a city.

The Architecture of Mushrooms (2019), created from a year of filming mushroom clips in the Gotjawal Forest on Jeju Island and intercut with narrations by thirteen architects from Korea and abroad, reimagines the relationship between nature and humanity.
