Queen Cordyceps
Mushroom Tales – From the End of the World · Creature Kin · 2025/26
My role Design · Making · LEDs & pneumatics
An empress from the underground: she infects, she glows, she grows.
The costume tells the Cordyceps takeover on the body: glowing fruiting bodies sprout from hat, shoulders and corset, a lace veil settles over the face like mycelium. In the finale, white tentacles grow pneumatically out of the costume – parasitic growth in real time.
