The seven great works are by the Taiwanese artist Kang Muxiang and are standing on a traffic island on Broadway in the middle of Manhattan. The elevator cables were once installed in a high-rise building in the Taiwanese capital Taipei. Artist Kang recycled the thick cables into man-high embyro-like figures. The exhibition entitled "Rebirth" can be seen until September 15.
