Ai Weiwei
Sunflower Seeds — Edition Print

About

A large-format photographic print documenting Ai Weiwei's landmark Tate Modern Turbine Hall installation, where 100 million hand-painted porcelain sunflower seeds carpeted the vast industrial floor. Each seed was individually crafted by artisans in Jingdezhen, China's porcelain capital, making the installation a meditation on mass production, individual labour, cultural erasure, and the relationship between the one and the many.
