Descending Light 2007

"Descending Light," a 2007 work by Ai Weiwei, is a large-scale, site-specific installation made from interconnected, red-colored, tube-like structures. The piece, illuminated from within, creates a striking and dynamic visual experience. The work is typical of Ai Weiwei's large-scale, interactive installations that often incorporate materials that are readily available or commonly used in the context of contemporary Chinese society. "Descending Light" is an example of how Ai Weiwei utilizes contemporary materials to create an interesting exploration of light, space, and form.
