The Empresses

Damien Hirst

2022

ENG EST

The Empresses by Damien Hirst (b 1965) is a series dedicated to the power of empresses. Composed of butterflies, the artworks serve as a reminder that power, beauty, and life are all transient. Each piece is associated with a significant empress: Wu Zetian played a key role in consolidating power during the Tang dynasty; Theodora brought about notable changes in Byzantine society; Nūr Jahān served as the de facto ruler of the Mughal Empire; Suiko was the first documented empress of Japan; and Taytu Betul was an empress of Ethiopia in the 19th century.
Damien Hirsti (s 1965) “The Empresses” on seeria, mis on pühendatud keisrinnade võimule. Liblikatest koosnevad teosed meenutavad, et võim, ilu ja elu on kõik ajutised. Iga teose taga on märgilise keisrinna: Wu Zetian oli tähtis tegelane Tangi dünastia võimu kindlustamisel, Theodora tõi kaasa märkimisväärseid muutusi Bütsantsi ühiskonnas, Nūr Jahān oli Mogulite impeeriumi tegelik valitseja, Suiko oli Jaapani esimene dokumenteeritud keisrinna ja Taytu Betul oli Etioopia keisrinna 19. sajandil.
