'Sunflower Seeds is made up of millions of small works, each apparently identical, but actually unique. However realistic they may seem, these life-sized sunflower seed husks are in fact intricately hand-crafted in porcelain.

Each seed has been individually sculpted and painted by specialists working in small-scale workshops in the Chinese city of Jingdezhen. Far from being industrially produced, they are the effort of hundreds of skilled hands. Poured into the interior of the Turbine Hall’s vast industrial space, the 100 million seeds form a seemingly infinite landscape.

Porcelain is almost synonymous with China and, to make this work, Ai Weiwei has manipulated traditional methods of crafting what has historically been one of China’s most prized exports. Sunflower Seeds invites us to look more closely at the ‘Made in China’ phenomenon and the geo-politics of cultural and economic exchange today.'

I went to

Tate modern to see

Ai Weiwei's exhibition

called 'sunflower seed'

It was on the under ground floor

and it was really huge size.

The part that I really enjoyed was not the exhibition.

It was the video about the process of this sunflower seed.

Ai Weiwei hired some people of one town near Beijing

and make them to make thousand of sunflower seeds

with rocks.

This is not an actual seed.
