Today's film on Roman Signer reminded me of this Chinese Artist whose works I got to know few years ago. He uses a lot of fireworks, explosives and stuffed big cats...
He has the desire to portray the aesthetic of pain through these animals, which are completely fake - man-made. His works also possess a poetic quality, sometimes indescribable with words. I strongly believe this is art...

I hope one day I'll be able to see one of his fireworks performance LIVE! Youtube has many videos of his works.
P.S. This was the guy in-charged of creating the "BIG FOOTSTEP" stomping into the bird nest stadium for the Beijing Olympics 2008.
