Hirst: Killing Time


Killing Time
2008
2134 x 3048 x 2134 mm | 84 x 120 x 84 in
I like this piece for a number of reasons. This piece has one of Hirst prominent themes which is the encasement of an object. In this cube there is a desk, chair, water bottle, watch, red & blue pill and a glass of water. I find this intriguing because it reminds me of people who works in a cubicle. Working in this kind of environment is often static and feels like a closed both. This work reflected that setting. Additionally the work was title Killing time, and I do believe that for many its killing time doing something they don't love.
