Red Fungus investigates the relation of emergence and (un)conscious human action. Visitors are given a sheet of four stickers upon entering the building. They are then asked to affix these stickers on the exhibition floor, according to a simple set of instructions. Having only four stickers consisting of basic shapes limits the scope of expression. But the freedom of direction and positioning of the sticker also offers liberties to visitors. While each visitor executes only a simple task, the repetition of these tasks, combined with the collaboration of other visitors, will lead to a complex image eventually.
