Art does not reproduce the visible but makes visible - Paul Klee
The Sunflowers Seeds of Ai Weiwei invaded on October 21, 2010 Turbine Hall the Tate Modern .
These 100 million Sunflowers Seeds resembling -as its name indicates an English-to seeds sunflower, were carved and painted by hand in Jingdezhen, China. They are made of porcelain, none are similar to each other, but in seems, they form an infinite landscape in the Great Hall of the Tate Modern .
Ai Weiwei wants to emphasize, through this work use data No material that is valuable china and production effort invested. Here, the Made in China takes a different dimension. These "seeds" are the result of the realization of 1500 people es.
See also the short-métrange where Ai Weiwei reads the various production sites and how each step: quarries where the raw material is extracted, to workshops where artisans and housewives clean and paint by hand each sunflower seed.
My first reaction to the sight of the thick carpet of "seed" was to invite me citizens questioned about art. Is this really of art? While new s are at the Tate Modern , one of the most beautiful mu Sees contemporary art world. The rug should be art for some reason or another. Reading the signs about the project, I understand better and better work and finds it more and more beautiful, poetic and even philosophical. This s small seeds represent'individu. All different yet so similar at times, trivial in a world desperately in general. That's the sym bolic of work that challenges us greatly.

's work prompts us to reflect on the human condition. Are we powerless? Insignificant? What is that individual Aujour of hui in society? What is its place?
