"My approach tends to be from experiments. I need the challenge. If I know how to do something well, there's no need to do it all the time because it becomes a little monotonous. So I like to find a challenge."

"The video piece...it happens- yet it looks back, right back into itself and it plays out again. The perspective of the camera is that of a pedestrian watching Times Square in all its glittery glory at night, pulsating with life- and seeing a car exploding through the streets as if it’s an illusion, as if it’s happened or maybe not happened."
- Cai Guo-Qiang
