Death is Elsewhere is an outrageous title, fantastic. Nihilism meets sentimentality... I must see this immediately

[@PinkChucky15]

I just saw this exhibit today and I absolutely loved it! I must have spent about two hours there, it was great.

[@11dannydabeast]

Really beautiful work, was lucky enough to see it in person recently

[@ryanpolliemusic]

favorite artist forever and ever

[@Vandernick]

Is there any possibility to purchase the song as a CD or an MP3 anywhere? Totally loved it when I visited last week! Would love to give the song to my dad as a present

[@davidbetz8338]

I just saw it today (though I will return this week to see it in its entirety). Stopping into the shop on my way out I was unable to find anything available for purchase (perhaps a cd or dvd?) Will this be made available (if it is not already) elsewhere following the exhibit?

Loved seeing this so much and am glad I found this interview too. Such a unique concept!

[@user-cx7qi7li8c]

So much beauty 💔 Wish it was shown in St. Petersburg

[@NFTeve]

I saw the Exhibit at the Hirshhorn in Washington DC a few years ago. It was extraordinary and wonderful.

[@shoulders-of-giants]

I hope they will turn all of Iceland into a work of art by replanting ALL of its original woodlands.

[@UnremarkableMarx]

I hated it
