Cornish Stories in Motion
Oggy Oggy Automata
A puppet-show-inspired cabinet tells a story of Cornish superstition. The Oggy Oggy interactive uses an automated presentation within a purpose-built theatrical display.
The exhibit brings local storytelling into a physical setting, with a framed stage and themed exterior establishing the scene. Its automated format presents the story as a small performance within the cabinet.
The photographs show the completed enclosure as well as details inside the display. This project illustrates how bespoke scenic fabrication and automata can give a heritage story a tangible presence in an exhibition.
