Description
This work was first exhibited at the Tate Modern London from October 12, 2010 to May 2, 2011. The work consisted of one hundred million individually hand-crafted porcelain sunflower seeds, which filled the gallery’s 1,000 square metre Turbine Hall to a depth of ten centimetres. Some critics associate this work with the Chinese political atmosphere, collective spirit, and so on.
