The exhibition will showcase over 50 works from the artist's career, encompassing various forms including installation, sculpture, and painting, many of which have never been exhibited in Asia before. It includes some of Hirst's most representative series, such as *Natural History* (formaldehyde sculpture), *Rotating Painting*, *Medicine Cabinet*, *Cherry Blossoms*, and *Spots and Butterflies Painting*. The exhibition traces the development of Hirst's most famous themes. Throughout his artistic career, Hirst has consistently explored the intricate relationship between beauty, religion, science, life, and death.

This exhibition breaks down the rigid framework of daily life, transforming familiar landscapes into absurd, humorous, and unexpected scenes. Visitors will enjoy sculptures, installations, photographs, videos, and even commercial projects—a comprehensive glimpse into Max Siddentop's playful creativity.

The story begins with Young-joo opening a small bookstore in Hunandong.

With moving lyrics and catchy melodies, the work delicately portrays the characters' emotions, offering warm comfort to audiences.
