Cai Guo-Qiang, Illusion II, (2006)

Cai Guo-Qiang’s ephemeral spectacle beholds its viewers while stirring cognitive dissonance between violence and beauty. This representation of duality is especially saturated on the internet. Having this beautiful work of art installed in Singapore Art Musuem 8Q is our pleasure. As intense as it it, a wave of melancholia swathed over, in remembrance of the Anhalter station that used to deport 50,000 of the 17,000 Jews to concentration camps during World War II.

蔡国强使用了火药，形成了美丽的烟花，却让观众对于暴力与美之间顿时产生了矛盾的认知失调。对偶这种双面的表示，是我们现今使用互联网的经历所能感受到的。
能够把这幅作品装置于新加坡艺术博馆8Q是我们的荣幸。激动的能力来袭之时，也感受到绵绵的感伤，吊念着二战期场地安哈尔特站50000之17000被驱逐到集中营的犹太人。
