Beijing-based artist Song Dong’s art explores ideas of transience, perception and the ephemeral nature of existence.
Within Selfridges, he combined these with the Chinese love of food by creating a city sculpture made entirely of sweets and biscuits. After the construction of the city, Selfridges held a tea party, where the it was destroyed through the eating of the city.
