This work references the coin dozer of a casino moved away from the suburbs of Beijing. Stripping its external decoration, this machine becomes brand new again with the exposed stainless steel, while the golden coins engraved with "Sweet Dream” has been automatically dropping. It is a machine about the consumption and exchange of "city”, producing both luck and failure.
