Hosszú leírás:
'Whats always got me is that peoples belief in their drugs is so unquestionable.' - Damien Hirst
In 2005 Damien Hirst began photographing every dispensing pharmacy in the Greater London area. Shooting both the individual pharmacists behind their counters and the exterior views of the citys 1,832 chemists, the project has taken over a decade to complete. The images are brought together in their entirety in this extraordinary ten-volume artists book, which presents a portrait of the city through the people and places that prescribe the medicines we take on a habitual and daily basis.
Hirsts career-long obsession with the minimalist aesthetics employed by pharmaceutical companiesthe cool colors and simple geometric formsfirst manifested in his series of Medicine Cabinets, conceived in 1988 while still at Goldsmiths College. For his 1992 installation Pharmacy Hirst recreated an entire chemist within the gallery space, stating: Ive always seen medicine cabinets as bodies, but also like a cityscape or civilization, with some sort of hierarchy within it. [Pharmacy] is also like a contemporary museum. In a hundred years it will look like an old apothecary. Pharmacy London similarly embodies the artists realization of an idea of a moment in time. The publication also, however, reads as a distilled expression of Hirsts continuing belief in the near-religious role medicine plays in our society.
