CHENGDU, CHINA
Kinetic sculptures in a Chengdu pastry shop
The Song You Fu archive shows faceted bull sculptures with visible gears, recorded head movement and their relationship to a pastry-shop interior.
THE EXHIBITS AND THEIR SETTING
A retail setting.
With visible movement.
The animal sculptures combine a faceted outer form with a side opening that exposes the gear train. A commissioning view records the brown mechanism, while shop photographs and footage show the installation within the retail environment. The film also includes a related brown-and-white finish treatment from the same archive.

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.
The retail entrance
The shop entrance and visible signage provide a location reference alongside the closer mechanism and interior records.
THE PHYSICAL REFERENCE IN MOTION
See the actual recording.
The first part shows the brown sculpture during retail commissioning, with gears and head movement visible. The short shop views that follow show related brown-and-white patterned finishes from the same archive.
