Current Status: Lives and works in the UK

We are an Art Duo Group called Hanfei. Our main practice is in Kinetic Art and sculptures. Our work connects and combines Kinetic Art with early/ historic mechanics often influenced by traditional inventions that we have modernised and reinvented. Most of our work involves mechanical engineering and movements. The aim of our work is to provoke audiences of varying ages to transcend back in time to child-like playfulness and curiosity. Interaction from our audience is a key element of our work therefore we try to create pieces that initially capture their attention, through the aesthetic (how it looks), kinetics (the movement) and mechanics (how it moves), which creates engagement. The pleasure we experience in exhibiting our work simply comes being able to make people smile through stimulating curiosity and reminiscing childhood memories. XiaoFei and Hanchi are also the Founders and Art Director of the design label Hanfei specialized in Conceptualize, Design, Create and Manufacture Public Art.
