Damien Hirst has produced a significant amount of art focused on death, but this is perhaps his most famous piece. It consists of a 14 foot Tiger shark preserved in formaldehyde. I've seen this in a gallery and it is an arresting piece. But the thing that interests me most is the title. Is it physically impossible to for us to imagine death? I don't know!
