smartest thing I've read about Damien Hirst, I mean good comments, not jokes or evil-is this phrase from the philosopher George Didi-Huberman for the newspaper Public :
"Hirst is unaware of the high bourgeoisie, linking the idea of \u200b\u200bdeath into diamonds."
In Survivor image Didi-Huberman adds to the equation another interesting element: taxidermy.
And we have a complete picture of bourgeoisie, or the more abstract idea than it sounds-called "bourgeoisie."
Hirst is like a bourgeois, not just assume their condition. As a new rich, their fascination with diamonds is that of an upstart. Death is clearly interested, he said that especially after the death of Joe Strummer, co-addled with his partner Alex Jones (Blur) on a label whose greatest merit is known to have rejected Coldplay, Viva those Life. Taxidermy
With Hirst gives true on the nail. It is noted that often had to sit in couches with foam escai bulging through the corners. Maybe that's why their animals in formaldehyde are not a paragon of subtlety. It is good that they are not even to be rotten, as happened with the first catch. Pretentious titles that carry their formalin spoil it a bit of everything.
And Luis Buñuel? Did you really speaking? His father was not, of course, the Edmundo Nobile The Exterminating Angel, but a prosperous Indian could easily spoil her seven children, who passed it super safe from Zaragoza, Calanda and San Sebastian. With the money from the mother, the eldest son Luis was also paid an unusual quirk: roll Un Chien Andalou.
In The Exterminating Angel the taxidermist works rather the reverse: what makes you really enjoy getting the stuffed animals, locked in a cage of gold do not really know why, gaining a more wild. So shiny they looked at first.
Bret Easton Ellis
not in doubt: he himself experienced first hand the Hollywood mogul niñatos children who swarm Less Than Zero. Unlike most of his classmates, Ellis did not come from Beverly Hills. Was "just" a guy Valley (San Fernando), but soon became the best chronicler of a world too retread, this time based on surgery, drugs, and blockbuster movies. Below, nearly skimming the surface but dazzling, sinister loop only deviates to abject surrender to him directly. But youth is always holding up precisely the great virtue of diamonds: after 3,000 million years of life just need some small tweaks to go out and sweep.
I can not prove it, but I think the strange force that prevents Nóbile and guests leave the mansion, and characters Less Than Zero escape self-destruction, is the same as for miles pushing lemmings to collective suicide. Maybe, just maybe, the money does not get to so many different people and the mass. How much money do the lemmings of the story of Richard Matheson ? There is everything:
" As the two policemen watched, the crowd went through the gray sand of the beach and began to venture into the sea. Some began to swim. Most could not, because it prevented his clothes. Carmack noted a young woman struggling against the waves and sank at last because of her fur coat. [...] The two men exchanged a handshake.
"Goodbye," was fired Reordon Carmack.
and remained smoking a cigarette as he watched his friend crossed the gray sand of the beach and got into the water until it covered his head. Before disappearing, Reordon swam a few dozen meters.
After a few moments, Carmack put out his cigarette and looked around. Then he also got in the water.
Along the coast is lined with a million empty car. "
always think that this story takes place in California, a few miles from Los Angeles, the real end of the world. Make no mistake: to get to know Fisterra across America is watching. At all. But what lies beyond the West won? Nothing in Matheson's story as explicit, but I'm sure it was a wild beach of Malibu where once it was over, for example in this:
The Matador, is called.
