Everyone loves watching fireworks illuminate dark skies, but did you ever wonder what they would look like during the day?
Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang put on this enormous daytime explosion event at the Arab Museum of Modern Art in Doha, Qatar. Guo-Qiang shows that just as nighttime fireworks are engineered to create mesmerizing light patterns, so can the chemical combustibles form unforgettable spectacles in the sun.
Guo-Qiang’s computer-controlled designs of black smoke clouds are individually calculated to resemble images such as “drops of ink splattered across the sky” and a pyramid floating above the desert.
Do you think daytime fireworks could become mainstream, challenging the traditional nighttime displays?
