Love all the feelings is part of the ambitious and pioneering project called The Currency which Damien Hirst embarked upon in 2016. Creating 10,000 works which were unique but almost indistinguishable, the pieces were originally offered for sale with each work corresponding to a unique NFT. Within two months each buyer had to choose either to keep the physical art work or the digital NFT, thereby actively participating in the project. As Hirst has commented: "The Currency is an artwork, and anyone who buys it will participate in this work, it's not just about owning it. It is the most exciting project I have ever worked on by far."
Each piece is executed on handmade paper, and is numbered, titled, stamped and signed by the artist on the back, with a watermark, a microdot and a hologram containing a portrait of the artist. Hirst is famous for his innovative projects working in unusual mediums, be they sharks suspended in formaldehyde or mesmerising paintings using real butterfly wings, and The Currency is no less innovative. Expanding into the digital world with this project and inviting the owners of each piece to actively participate too, he invites us to think about the very concept of value, currency and art and how we - and they - interact in the world today.
