CHENGDU, CHINA
Sports-themed kinetic sculptures in Chengdu
Sports-themed mechanical figures in a Chengdu landscape, with swimming, martial-arts and gymnastics references plus separate physical workshop tests.
THE EXHIBITS AND THEIR SETTING
Sporting gestures.
Built as moving figures.
The landscape photographs show stylised sports figures among flowering plants. Swimming, martial-arts and hoop-gymnastics themes give the collection a shared visual language. Separate workshop recordings document movement of the martial-arts and gymnastics mechanisms before comparison with the outdoor settings.

Look at the individual exhibits.
Look beyond the wide gallery view. Compare the physical form, visitor position and surrounding space in these actual reference photographs.
Hoop-gymnastics figure
The figure and hoop create a sports-themed feature among the flowers. The workshop film provides a closer view of the physical articulated movement.
THE PHYSICAL REFERENCE IN MOTION
From the workshop.
These normal-speed recordings show the physical martial-arts and gymnastics figures during workshop testing. The outdoor landscape photographs provide a separate view of the setting.
