i want to believe

“I want to believe” was an exhibition at the Guggenheim museum NY, where Cai Guo-Qiang (Chinese-born artist) designed a site-specific installation that museum visitors were a vital part of.
The exposition portrayed art as developing in time and space progression tied up with idea of change, consumption of resources, and communication. The composition of Cai’s art forms is unpredictable in their nature, although his aggressive but simultaneously starting positive creation social idealism illustrates all development.
As a visitor walked in to the museum there were nine cars with ordered in different directions light tubes hanged above his head as a sequence of freeze frames from some blockbuster Hollywood movie. This installation referred to the terrorist issues depicting a trace of falling detonated car. A visitor experienced a paradox of extreme fear, deadly horror and abstract beauty of an explosion.
Walking up by a spiral path the visitor unfolded other “stories” created by Cai Guo-Qiang, like this one of great courage and collective unity. A pack of 99 life-sized wolves run as fast as they can toward a glass wall in the act of rage and collective audacity. However, there is a different side of the story ending in their unity reaching its apogee in their eventual fall as a reflection of the human weakness that is in blind following any collective ideology.
