Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable (2017)
You don't have to like it in order for it to be Art.
Of this project, Damian Hirst said it "taps into a desire for belief, for a connection with the past,". And that's true for me and many like myself. I watched in total belief, with high excitement yet fully prepared for the disappointment of failure. However, now that I understand it was Hirst's multi-layered (and risky) project, it remains just as spectacularly awesome on it's own terms. It is Damien Hirst, after all and the pieces are brilliant, tremendous, almost sacred while you are in the illusion. Hirst said, " maybe I am worrying more than is necessary, really, because people are willing to believe. I think they want to believe." I do. I was more than glad to be deceived by it because of its sheer size and daring. This astonishing project remains vastly more than it's proverbial seperate parts.
