テレビマンユニオン .TV Man Union The “The World Art of Cai Guo-Qiang” 2003

In November 2003, Cai Guo-qiang produced the social project Man, Eagle, and Eye in the Sky at the Siwa Oasis, Egyptian Sahara Desert. The project was made in collaboration with over 600 school children from 40 schools throughout the Governate of Marsa Matruh. Commissioned by the Siwa Art Project, an organization that promotes Siwa's cultural heritage internationally in an ecologically sensitive manner, the interactive, community-based project utilized 200 Chinese kites that were painted by the school children, and then flown in the desert skies. At the end of the five-day project the kites were exploded with gunpowder.
