With the announcement of the zoo’s expropriating date, I was reminded of how the land and its uses could be controlled or ignored by one man. I contemplated on the idea of how the combination of neo-liberalism and the monarchy manifests itself in Thai’s governing system, how the monarchy co-opts neoliberalism, and how the elites could direct the roles of people in Thai society. Given such thoughts, I played a game called “City State,” a game that allows the player to build cities employing political and economic strategies. I played the game by following the tactics I found in my research, captured some situations, combined the captured images/videos with the real footage to create a video single screen.
