Today I
watched such an interesting movie about the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei i like the
way he present his work to the people. All his works have the hidden sense…but not everybody
understand it! I decided to choose one of the greatest
his work 'Sunflower seeds' deep idea behind it shock me. He and his team did a great
preparations before they show it in Tate Modern. The numbers make me crazy the Porcelain seeds of
sunflower made manually 10 cm a layer cover the area of 1000 sq.m 100 million
of seeds about 150 tons weigh. Each seed is made of pure porcelain manually.
Any of seeds not probably on another. Each element was made and painted
individually by hands. Over one and a half thousand Chinese workers within 2,5
years worked on an exposition, and all this time information on the project
wasn't disclosed. Initially Ai Weiwei decided to make only 3 million seeds, but
after understood that it will be insufficiently for full completion of an
exposition, and works were continued…
I think that
for him his work is something like the revolt against iniquity. Sunflower seeds project trying to
show millions of the residents of China similar externally, but different
inside. I think Ai
Weiwei is a very important person today, because he says what he wants to say
he does what he wants to do and he is not scared of what happens next, he is
kind of revolution... but
any revolution comes to an end.
