outside the museum walls, cai planned his signature explosions as part of the exhibit opening. 'black ceremony' is a progression 
of 10 detonations near the city of mathaf. 8, 300 shells ignited to form a black pyramid as well as colorful circles, 
triangles and rectangles; shapes which hold significant meaning for the arabs. the video of the event is presented 
as part of the displayed works.

• these works start as a controlled, set up installation that has been made from small explosives which themselves are chaotic, violent and destructive.
• I am interested in how something such as a bomb that is seen as violent has been arranged to generate these beautifully controlled explosions.
