Ai Weiwei. La Commedia Umana. Memento Mori - Gift VolumeTomomot
The gift volume for Ai Weiwei. La Commedia Umana – Memento Mori, presented to guests at the exhibition’s opening at the Abbey of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, serves as a visual diary chronicling the journey behind the monumental glass sculpture La Commedia Umana—the largest suspended Murano glass piece in history. This volume immerses readers in Ai Weiwei’s creative process, illustrating each phase: from the initial design and the making of individual glass pieces to their assembly and final exhibition setup. Distinct sections feature varied layouts, papers, and inks, chosen to represent stages of the three-year project, enhancing the narrative depth and artistic resonance of this unique tribute.
