‘Treasures from the wreck of the unbelievable’ is one of the most brilliant art happenings of the XX and XXI century. Not just the extraordinary beauty of some of those pieces but the entire story that surrounds and supports those pieces. I feel so sorry for all of those people who cannot see how genius the entire project was. It must be awful not having the capacity to imagine, or a sense of humour or the intelligence to let yourself be fooled for a moment by a wonderful story.

If you cannot realise how incredibly brilliant the idea is and you do not allow yourself to be amazed by the sheer beauty of the pieces and you beat yourself up for ‘having believed’ you really have a problem. It’s called suspension of disbelief. Just enjoy the extraordinary beauty of the story and the artworks. Allow yourself the wonder of believing.

.......through most of the movie I was absolutely enthralled. I kept thinking "how have I not heard about these discoveries?" The Mickey Mouse at the end caught me as perhaps being just a funny sculpture to showcase with these amazing treasures that were found. I also thought it was very odd that the statues were being showcased with the coral and barnacles still on them (the coral would obviously die, so I found it very strange that they would go through so much trouble to recreate the coral for the display). I began looking into this shipwreck, only to find that this was all a fake......fuck. I do applaud the acting...most of it did NOT seem scripted...only at a few moments did I think "this might be scripted..." Anyway...My wife and I were trolled hard. Bastard.....

Absolutely Love everything about The Treasures Exhibition. The Scale and Dedication to Story and Craft is remarkable. Outstanding in every way. My New Found Favorite Modern Day Artist.

Watching the mockumentary definitely had me fooled completely, which was great because it was a fabulous journey for me. That I've seen an exhibition at the Palazzo Grassi years ago that was complete shit and to me, an insult to that beautiful palazzo, this was amazing. I only learned it was fake when I googled the schedule for the "treasures" exhibition and saw it was all staged. But truly, a genius work of art he spent a lot of money on to get people THINKING. It is all very engaging, and that is the purpose of art.

Even if there was a power Ball lottery back then, Howard Carter must of rolled in his grave , watching this once upon a time fraudulent garbage . PS I forgive Mikey mouse, it's not his fault. He's innocent in all this.

I was so angry when I finished the documentary (and saw Mickey). I then tried to analyze my anger, and I discovered this: I wasn't angry with the documentary for duping me, I was angry with _myself_ for being duped.

I just finished watching the Netflix presentation. They should've waited till April 1st. Loved it though. If I was embarrassingly rich I'd like to buy a few of these.

I was impressed by the background work of it...how he let others create these thing...and then submerge everything for TEN years...it's just insane that it worked. If I were him I wouldn't paint the corals and stuff in colors, only with fitting metal paint, like that on the huge statue...but then they could have added everything manually, hehe.

Wait, these are all made for the show right? It sounds like he's implying some of these were actually under the sea and from long ago.

It's all pure bullshit and garbage. Netflix should be embarrassed showing a fake staged discovery of a Mickey mouse statue full of artificial coral. Hirst is a narcissisti . Calling a tripiphobia trigger art. If you wanna see a real shipwreck discovery watch documentaries on the Atocha. A spaniard ship loaded with tons of silver,Gold, Pearl's, ,emeralds. Gold Inca artifacts. The Fisher family discovered The mother load of shipwreck treasure off Florida keys. Estimated value in the 80s 400 million. Probably in the billions today.

Me too! There were a couple of moments I questioned the film but it really took the Mickey Mouse and the guy in the suit to seal the deal.

Documentary > Sunken Treasure > Fuck me. I watched it. It is unbelievable. Swallowed that shit, hook, line and sinker.

Kitsch for a big aquarium.

So I just finished watching the Netflix documentary and I'm unsure what to think. It took me on an emotional roller coaster ride, I was excited, shocked, intrigued and then they showed the Mickey mouse statue without any explianation and now I'm just confused.

Its a mockumentary. Part of its point is to show how easily we are willing to believe in something just because some people in a documentary makes it look convincing. The entire movie was full of hints suggesting it was fake. For example Gold cannot survive under water for 2000 years, its soft metal which also reacts to the water. The same as all the statues which had limbs but were missing heads all of the limbs would have been broken of during 2000 years of oceanic exposure.

Lol reading at the comments, how can anybody believe for a second that's ancient art.

When he says "that's Cif Amotan", but that's clearly a statue of himself, why the hell didnt she say anything? Is she blind or playing along or what?

Art of the Anunnaki

So basically, we didn't destroy the planet, or at least it was able to regenerate and future peoples are as bad as we are at ascribing meaning to ancient "artifacts" that may or may not have been intended. Hundreds of years from now, would people not ascribe all kinds of significance to Mickey Mouse, considering how many millions of times his image has been and is still being reproduced? I find the whole thing quite delightful and the sculptures are beautiful. I'd buy a cheap replica in the gift shop. Actually, I'd probably buy several to give as souvenir gifts. Were there any Star Wars artifacts? My son would love a BB-8. He IS from "A long time ago" after all. Art people are mad lol.

Plot Twist: The film was taken from the future.

The point of the mockumentary was also to see how easily it would be to fool people. There were small hints along the entire film to suggest all of it was fake. And the further in you get the more ridiculous everything gets. Its a great piece of cinematic art, and it carries a message. Something is only real if we believe it to be. In an age where fake news is everywhere its important to know just how easily we are willing to bellieve in something.

Would be cooler if Damien actually made any of this. But I guess thinking of it and paying for it and erasing the actual artists to who created these to nothing is fine. Sigh. I’d respect this more if he was straight up and recognized his “fabricators” who are the ones who have technical skill.

Hi *Lamees Ahmad* You are right, they really all are quite beautiful aren't they? Damien has done this with much of his art. When we think of artists in general we think of solitary painters. I also took a little exception years ago when I learned that Damien utilizes a team of artists and then gets the credit. But in time I have come to look at him as more of an architect, much like the architect for a building, he designs them but others build them in his vision. When seen this way, in a different light with a different perspective, I can really appreciate his work. I have to be truthful, out of all of his work, this is actually my favourite. Damien is an interesting man, he and I both collect ethical taxidermy from Darin, Sinke & van Tongeren. Though his collection far exceeds my own!

I must say you have described Damien's work in a way which I can savour and appreciate. Best Wishes
