The artwork titled “God Alone Knows,” crafted by Damien Hirst in 2007, is an installation piece that belongs to the Conceptual Art movement.
The artwork consists of three separate pieces, each encased in a white-framed, glass-panel structure filled with a translucent blue liquid. Each casing contains the preserved carcass of a sheep or bovine, suspended in a cruciform position. The skeletal framework of the carcasses is meticulously visible, accentuated by the stark clarity of the preservation fluid. The contrast between the white frame and the ethereal blue liquid, coupled with the solemn arrangement of the carcasses, evokes a contemplative atmosphere. The installation’s exceptional presentation and thought-provoking nature are characteristic trademarks of Hirst’s conceptual exploration within contemporary art.
