White Cube Hong Kong is pleased to present ‘His Own Worst Enemy’, an exhibition by Damien Hirst. On view in Asia for the first time, sculptures from Hirst’s acclaimed series ‘Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable’ feature alongside a new series of paintings titled ‘The Revelations’, produced in 2021.

‘Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable’, a project that Hirst developed over ten years, is based on the fictional discovery of an ancient shipwreck. Realised through a large suite of sculptures, drawings and other ephemera, all created in an extraordinary array of techniques and materials, the series weaves fantasy and historical references to expose the myth and mutability of history, belief systems and art itself. Five major sculptures from the series are featured in the exhibition.
