The Chinese artist-s shocking speared tigers installation ? of life-sized replicas ? is aimed at highlighting the killing of the endangered beasts.
?Looking at the work that I-ve done, I-ve noticed things sticking into or out of objects a lot. I think this has to do with my interest in explosions, but it also has to do with the esthetics of pain.│ says Cai.
?There is a very visceral response that the audience has to the work ? they feel pain when they see the tigers.│
?The tigers are realistically made, but they are completely fake.│
?It-s a stage setting that you enter into.│ he says. ?It-s through visual impact that you translate these ideas. And it-s through visual impact that this pain is felt.│
?You can actually elicit a very direct response ? a very strong response.│
