Cai Guoqiang often uses explosives in dramatic outdoor performances, and his eloquent sculptures and installation pieces frequently address controversial socio-political issues. This book is the first comprehensive study of Cai’s wide-ranging investigation of humanity’s place in the world. An interview with the artist, a survey of his body of work, a study of a specific project, a chronology of his activities and the artist’s own writings are featured in this monograph.
