the shop dreams at night, its dreams take the form of two live action films:
one a single shot of a landscape filmed at one frame a second over 24 hours.
a sea scape shot in slow motion cycles through a 15 colour palette over its 7 minute duration.
animatronic polar bears,
themed collections of toys,
antique display cabinets,
a gio ponti day bed,
a jean prouve sun lounger,
works of art by janis kounellis, a fountain.
