These, however, are NOT porcelain sunflower seeds.

B&W (very early) Thursday: Sunflower Seeds
I received a forwarded email from my friend with images of sunflower seeds in a place that looks like a warehouse. As it turns out, that warehouse is actually a hall at Tate Modern in London, a gallery for International Modern and Contemporary Art. The millions of sunflower seeds that you will see in these links are not real sunflower seeds. They are hand-made porcelain sunflower seeds that make up the art installation of artist Ai Weiwei. Take a look at the images here at designboom, then watch this video at Tate Modern to see the process that goes behind the making of this installation. I find it pretty amazing how an art installation in a gallery actually has a process that involved a whole town and created job opportunities for the community.

You, my friend, take really good pictures. Gambar kuaci pun boleh jadi cantik kalau tau cara nak tangkap gambar. MashaAllah. Thumbs up! :D
ReplyDeleteWell Thank You! the funny thing is that I put myself a task to post B&W photos this week (sendiri suruh diri sendiri). Kuaci seemed to suit the theme well, don't you think? ;)
