J'étais choqué par l'idée que ces êtes aient toutes été un jour vivantes et finissent maintenant leurs jours empaillés, servant docilement l'art. Mais non, ça va.
Head on (2006) de Cai Guo-Qiang
Voici un extrait tiré du site internet de ArtMag. (ça m'évitera de paraphraser)
For his dramatic
installation, the artist, who lives in New York, had 99 life-sized
stuffed wolves barrel into a glass wall. They push on relentlessly,
crashing with full force against the transparent barrier. While Cai's
work, which was conceived for the Deutsche Bank Collection,
was inspired by Berlin and its history, its message is generally valid.
"I wanted to portray the universal human tragedy,“ says Cai, “resulting
from this blind urge to press forward, the way we try to attain our
goals without compromise,"
