The arrangement of the booth

The work was exhibited at 100+ Fair in Shenzhen, China, from 28 November to 1 December 2024. The overall view records shelves on both side walls, wall works at the back, and a central display table. Sculptures occupy the walls and centre; five wooden panels are arranged on the back wall.[1]

The view establishes display surfaces and relative positions, rather than measured shelf heights or distances between works. A photograph of the arrangement and a plan used to reproduce it serve different purposes.

Information in close views

The close view of the cassette-containing sculpture shows reels and tape inside resin, alongside cassette cases on the shelf. Interior information that appears small in the overall view becomes visible together with the work’s outline.[2]

Another wall has a rabbit-like sculpture and two vessels on separate shelves. Text panels are visible alongside the works, recording an arrangement that allowed individual descriptions to be consulted as well as forms to be compared.[2]

Current titles and historical records

At this fair, Mare was shown as Inauspicious Rabbit, Chiaroscuro as WHAT A NIGHT, and Maeose as A FEW YEARS LATER - 01. Links to current work records keep those historical names distinct from present titles, without rewriting the original photographs or text panels.[1]

Together, overall and close views make positions for comparing the group distinguishable from positions for examining individual interiors and surfaces. The record can support a later display review of both the group and access to detail.

Comparison and movement documented in the overall view

Wall shelves distinguish works individually while allowing comparison with adjacent forms. The central table groups sculptures away from the walls. Beyond what each work represents, these differences document which works could be examined closely or included in the same field of view.

A centrally positioned table does not establish that visitors walked around it. Documented arrangement and observed behaviour are different sources. Pairing future overall views, close photographs and plans would permit comparison between an actual installation and a later proposal without conflating them.
