ダミアン・ハースト展
カルティエさんから招待券をいただいて、ダミアン・ハースト展に娘と行ってきました。
国立新美術館は家から3分ほどで行ける場所なのですが、随分と久しぶりに行った気がします。
なぜカルティエさんから招待？という方はぜひ、下記のドキュメンタリー映像を見てみてください。これが本当に素晴らしいドキュメンタリー映像なのです。そして、東京まで来れない方もぜひドキュメンタリーだけでも見てみてください。
ダミアン・ハーストの『Cherry Blossoms』展に合わせ、カルティエとカルティエ現代美術財団が1年間かけて撮影されたドキュメンタリー映像、これも一つの素晴らしい作品といえます。
アーチストという人間自体が自然の一部
ダミアン・ハーストの言葉で、以下の言葉が本当に心に残りました。
「アーチストという人間自体が自然の一部で、もはやアーチストにすら独創性というものはない。自分は独創性というものが必要ないと感じた時から自由になれた。多面的な世界にオリジナルというものは存在しないくらい自然の中で影響しあっている。」
そう、私たちは独創的な自分を承認して欲しがるけれど、もはや人間にはある意味独創はない。
すべてが多面でつながった自然の一部。
だからこそ、余すことなく世に送り出そう。自分の内なるものを。
I received an invitation from Cartier and went to the Damien Hirst exhibition with my daughter.
The National Art Center is only about 3 minutes from my home, but it feels like it’s been quite a while since I last visited. For those wondering “Why an invitation from Cartier?”, please watch the documentary footage below.. It’s truly an excellent documentary. And for those who can’t make it to Tokyo, I highly recommend watching at least the documentary.

This documentary, filmed over a year by Cartier and the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain to coincide with Damien Hirst’s “Cherry Blossoms” exhibition, is itself a remarkable work of art.
Among Damien Hirst’s words, these particularly resonated with me: “Artists themselves are part of nature, and even artists no longer have originality. I felt free when I realized I didn’t need originality. In our multifaceted world, we are all influencing each other within nature to the extent that there’s no such thing as being truly original.”
Yes, we all desire recognition for our creative originality, but in a sense, humans no longer possess true originality. Everything is interconnected as part of multifaceted nature. That’s precisely why we should release what’s within us into the world, holding nothing back.
