What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you examine a pice such as this one?
It definitely isnt happiness and joy. Its more of a feeling of fear and the realism of the shark creates an even darker atmosphere. Damien Hirst titled this piece "The Physical Impossibility of Death In the Mind of Someone Living", which you cant deny about the artwork itself. Just seeing this artwork it creates an image of death and despair to the hands of a live Tiger Shark. Accrding to some sources it took him about $10,000 just to keep this shrk afloat. As I witnessed this atwork on the screen i asked my self if there was anything biger out there than a tiger shark? I did some research and i found that there is in fact sharks larger than a Tiger Shark. As for this artwork I would say that there is nothing that could possibly give a person Stendhal Syndrome as this probably could.
