This is a giant pile of fake sunflower seeds that you can walk on and play with. Made by a team of madmen and lead by a madman Chinese fellow named Ai Weiwei, each of these sunflower seeds are unique and mind-bogglingly real looking.
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.
