Tumbling cars - a photo on Flickriver

Tumbling cars

Installation by Cai Guo-Qiang at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City consisting of white cars and metal rods.

One of the most technically challenging works the museum has ever installed, "Inopportune: Stage One," when complete, will consist of nine white cars, pierced with blinking light rods, dangling one above another in the museum's rotunda. In a scale model, the cars descend in a spiral and appear to tumble over one another; the effect, with the blinking light rods, is of a single car exploding and turning somersaults as it falls through space.

See the following movie on the installation.
