From the publisher: "This publication -- Hirst's first -- is the artist's beguiling statement of his ideas and obsessions in life and art to date. Expressed in his own words, and illustrated by his own selection of over 700 images, pop-ups and special inserts, [it] encompasses the entire range of his work -- paintings, sculptures, installations and films. In this book, Hirst has created an iconoclastic work that challenges the boundaries of art, science, media and popular culture."

Darte cuenta que absorbemos y percibimos gran parte del mundo por un par de masas carnosas, suaves, frágiles y gelatinosas que son los ojos, esa pesada sensación de claustrofobia como dice Hirst...lo mismo que buscan todos los artistas: el trascender, la única manera de vivir eternamente.

Ese sentimiento pesado y constante de tener a la muerte desinfectada, inerte, pulcra e industrial a un lado permea los textos. Drogas, vida y religión. Hermoso diseño que se sale del cajón, como el mismo artista con su arte.

Puro eye candy brutal.

there's all kinds of things to pull out and turn and interact with in this book. it's like those activity toys for babies with images of dissected cows and cigarette butts instead.

Jonathan Barnbrook, who designed this book, is a co-author of Damien Hirst's superstardom.

My introduction to Hirst's art, providing context to what I previously considered crap.
