You simply never know what the Asians will think of! And we are meaning this in a completely positive way! Because we were just mesmerized by the outstanding oeuvre of CaiGuo-Qiang, a Chinese artist who is currently based in New York City. His latest project is called Sky Ladder or Fire Ladder. This sculpture is based on gunpowder, one of the most spectacular inventions of his predecessors. The “Sky Ladder” reached an altitude of 500 meters (1640 ft).
This work of art is actually a rope ladder tied to a helium balloon, and the rope was covered in gunpowder. When the gunpowder is lit, it creates the flaming extravaganza. It is quite simple, but you ought to have the imagination as well as gift to create it. When it comes to displays of this size, they often don`t work on the first attempt. In fact, the spectacle you have the chance to see here is actually the 4th try. The previous Fire Ladder attempts were in Bath (1994), Shanghai (2001), and in Los Angeles (2012). Additionally, the artist had this idea for more than 20 years! You can learn a valuable lesson here, chase your dreams and never give up on them!
