Video | Ai Weiwei: Sunflower seeds

There’s been ample coverage of Ai Weiwei’s Tate Modern installation. The most recent has questioned the health concerns raised by visitor interaction with the seeds (subsequently, the installation is now roped off). Consider the above the official video, as it comes directly from the Tate Channel. Ai Weiwei describes his motivations and heads back to China to meet the artisans who created his seeds.

It may be longer than the average net video, but I promise Ai Weiwei’s Chinese visit is worth the length.
