Love It or Hate It?
Verity Statue的点评
点评：Depending on your point of view ‘Verity’ is a either a monstrosity or a very striking landmark.
The 65 foot tall sculpture by Damian Hurst really divides people. We had completely opposite reactions and even as we looked at it, we could hear others around us having the same divided opinions. We could hear the words ‘offensive’, ‘weird’ and ‘gross’ being tossed around.
What you see here is 20.25-metre tall sculpture of a very pregnant, naked woman, standing right on the harbour. In her left hand she holds a sword high above her head as she stares out over the Bristol Channel towards Wales. In her other hand, she holds the scales of justice behind her back and at her feet is a pile of books.
The confrontational part is that from one side she is naked but at least she has skin. The other side of her has been stripped of skin, to show the anatomical working of her muscles, bones, tendons and nerves. Even her womb and the foetus inside is exposed. From this side, she looks alien-like. It’s not pretty and it was always going to provoke.
Interestingly, the statue has been here for about 13 years and it’s still generating conversation. Not many works of art can make that claim. It's confronting but I liked it.
TIP: There is a good information sign near the statue that explains its meaning and how it was made.

翻译：从不同的角度来看，“真理”（Verity）要么是丑陋的怪物，要么是引人注目的地标。
这座由达米安·赫斯特创作的65英尺高的雕塑引发了截然不同的评价。我们的反应完全相反，甚至在我们注视它的时候，也能听到周围其他人同样持有不同意见。我们听到“冒犯”、“怪异”、“恶心”之类的词语在耳边回荡。
你现在看到的是一座20.25米高的雕塑，描绘的是一位怀孕的裸体女性，她就矗立在港口上。她左手高举宝剑，目光越过布里斯托尔海峡，眺望着威尔士。她的另一只手背在身后，手中拿着天平，脚边堆放着一摞书。
这座雕塑最具争议之处在于，从一侧看，她虽然赤身裸体，但至少还有皮肤。而从另一侧看，她的皮肤被剥离，露出了肌肉、骨骼、肌腱和神经的解剖结构。甚至连她的子宫和里面的胎儿都暴露在外。从这个角度看，她像个外星人。这并不美观，而且注定会引发争议。
有趣的是，这座雕像已经矗立了大约13年，至今仍能引发人们的讨论。很少有艺术作品能做到这一点。它令人震撼，但我很喜欢。
提示：雕像附近有一块信息牌，很好地解释了它的含义和制作过程。
