'Human Flow' by Ai Weiwei

See the world through the eyes of refugees. Here’s the official trailer for Ai Weiwei's Human Flow. In select theaters October 13.

SWEET THORN, by Matlakas, in Cape Town. Dressed in 100 metres barbed wire and 100 roses. Blowing balloons with written words. Each word representing something I want to transform on earth. Slowly freeing myself from the wire with the use of a cutter. With the pieces of barbed wire a stem is created. Using the stem and the bursted balloon, I will make a white flower which will be given, together with a rose to a member of the audience as a cathartic action for transformation. Slowly getting totally free from the wire. Walking in barbed wire represents the fact that everything can be taken but our essence will be impossible to be possessed by others and that although we can have a loss of property or objects, there will always be growth afterwards. The idea of “Sweet thorn” emerged from my tour to Palestine and South Africa and was developed at IPSA (Institute of Palestine in South Africa). Sweet Thorn is inspired by the sound of “sweet sweet home”, in this case the home is my own body, the essence of my soul that can’t be taken by anyone. “Sweet Thorn” does not only refers to Palestine but to all the refugees and people who found themselves displaced, forced to move to temporary areas. But also “Sweet Thorn” refers to occupation. #sweetthorn #humanflow #human #freerefugees #refugee #contenporar#roses #redroses #barbedwire #rosesandbarbedwire #poet #matlakas #performanceartist #performanceart #performer #artistsoninstagram #artoninstagram #artnow #saatchi #flowerpower #freedom #saatchiartist #freehuman #riccardomatlakas #saatchi #moma #artlife #lifeandart #cleancut #performers (at Cape Town, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWoAaklsvgS/?utm_medium=tumblr
