Damien Hirst
[Artist, b. 1965, Bristol, England, lives in Combe Martin, Devon, England.]
Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.
But I always liked the fact that you get these totally unacceptable images, but they’re taken by a really expensive photographer, with great light, and in terms of the quality of the photograph it’s a great photograph, but in terms of imagery it’s unacceptable, and I like that contradiction.
