The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (Lenticular Shark), 2013
Digital lenticular print in colours with digitally printed cutout overlay, on PETG plastic, 80 x 120 cm, framed. Edition of 150, signed and numbered.
With this edition, Damien Hirst revisits his perhaps most iconic artwork, originally conceived in 1991, featuring a shark suspended in a tank of formaldehyde. The lenticular print medium allows the shark to seemingly come to life, shifting and moving within its aquatic confines as the viewer moves around the artwork. This optical illusion creates a similarly visceral effect as the original installation, enabling viewers to experience the predator in an amplified sense of three-dimensional presence.
