"Eighty goldfish touched down in a chartered Whisper Jet at Auckland International Airport Saturday 21 March.
Renowned Italian artist Paola Pivi has conceived I Wish I Am Fish as part of the nationwide ONE DAY SCULPTURE series. Each transported in their own glass bowl and allocated their own seat, the goldfish were flown over the Tasman creating a remarkable filmic event capturing the tilt of water during take off and the luminous light of high altitude skies. The video of their flight was screened at Freyberg Square from 9pm that evening.
The work has been commissioned by Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki curator Natasha Conland for the nationwide ONE DAY SCULPTURE series on the occasion of Auckland Festival 2009." (text taken from one day sculpture web site)
