“alfonso batalla: a dolphin for damien” spanish artist alfonso batalla has re-interpreted the famous damien hirst work ‘the physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone living’ with his own piece entitled ‘a dolphin for damien’. the artwork is part of a series by batalla entitled ‘landscape under construction’, where the photographer takes vacant spaces and fills them with life - whether it be a carousel in an abandoned paper factory; a pinball machine in an old coal mine or a displaced polished plastic water toy - the decaying architecture is intelligently transformed.  the sculptures probe the audience to reassess the idea of the present and past, often referencing familial childhood objects, which inevitably then become the key intellectual protagonists of each composition.
