* The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (1990) by Damien Hirst. This piece of art is actually a dead tiger shark, floating in a tank of formaldehyde, which means it won’t go rotten for years. Lots of people got a bit upset about this piece of art. Some people said it wasn’t even art and that it was rubbish. Damien Hirst was cool, though – when someone told him that anyone could have done that with a shark and called it art, he just said ‘But they didn’t, did they?’ I actually think it’s OK. I think it shows how difficult it is for humans to think about dying. And maybe, it means that something isn’t really dead if it still exists in the minds of the people left alive. I like that idea a lot.
