"’Borrowing Your Enemy’s Arrows’ uses three thousand arrows on a boat that’s hanging. I’ve used the image of the arrow quite a lot. And I also like to hang things up. Perhaps it’s the physical response one has with an object that’s been pierced through- and then also to the change of gravity when you lift things off the ground."

- Cai Guo-Qiang
