CCA Project Gallery presented a new work by Anri Sala.

“Too weak to lead the sky on their own will, the festivity fireworks were shaded by peoples’ pyrotechnics. Finally the sky saw little difference between the governmental ones and the others. At crack of dawn the city streets were roofed by fireworks’ rests, which came back on earth or never made it to the sky. It smelled like corroded explosives. Street-cleaners, the only one to be awake, talked of fireworks being kidnapped and manoeuvred. All gone !”*

Anri Sala stayed at CCA Kitakyushu as Professor of Research Program during a month of November 2001.

* Where from an elevated vista, with a bunch of props including a big plastic sheet (against the rain), an improvised DJ unit and loudspeakers we played with the sky.
