Ai Weiwei
Herzog and de Meuron’s Chinese collaborator was recently interviewed by ICON magazine, he’s a provocative sort…
You’re saying you’re not interested in the physical result of your work?
Exactly. It’s like a murder – when it’s over, I need a fresh body to kill. I’m not interested in dead bodies.
He has also become outspoken about security surrounding the games… “I don’t criticise the stadium. I criticise the government’s use of the Olympics for propaganda. I am disappointed that the system is not able to turn this historical event into political reform.”
Here’s an Aljazeera video about Ai Wei Wei from August 2007.
