Black Ceremony
Loading...
Uploaded by mathafmodern on Dec 12, 2011
Black Ceremony, a progression of ten different scenes exploring themes of death and homecoming, exploded over a vast stretch of open land near Mathaf on Monday, December 5. The explosion event appeared like drops of ink splattered across the sky, instantaneously creating black blossoms, followed by thunderous noise. 8,300 shells embedded with computer microchips were ignited to form a black pyramid that stands above the earth, as if a wordless tombstone. Black Ceremony took place near the museum and was open to the public. Video of Black Ceremony is presented as part of the exhibition, alongside six other videos of previous explosion events.

@manhimanh you are a stupid naive dim wit shit for brains. I am a pyrotechnitian and the planning and time that went into this display is mind blowing! It took great effort and is a great example of technology. If you pay attention to the crowd it has brought together many cultures to celebrate this occasion. As a matter of fact you as a single human produce more carbon emissions in a week than this display of peaceful art did. Ur an idiot and deserve one of those explosive shells up ur arse!!

I'm sure that many of the people in these comments are complaining about the pollution of this yet they go out on Independence Day and blow things up themselves. I'm not saying one is better or worse for the planet because I honestly do not know. All I'm saying is at least this is done by professionals, who know the risks, and actually looks beautiful.

I saw a triangle and rainbow. The rest was just black soot and a lot of thundering. Money well spent?...
