[Antonio Margal · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.

I should have SO waited in line for my signed copy.

Loaded with stuff. The design by Jonathan Barnbrook is gorgeous. I wish I still had it.

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