Damien Hirst, Shepard Fairey & Invader: The Making of Triple Trouble

What happens when three of the world’s most iconic artists—Damien Hirst, Shepard Fairey, and Invader—combine their legendary styles? Go behind the scenes of 'Triple Trouble' to see the chaos, the trust, and the process behind their collaboration. In this exclusive HENI Talk, Damien Hirst, Shepard Fairey, and Invader (Space Invader) discuss the evolution of their three-way collaboration. From putting an Invader in a formaldehyde tank to melding the "Make Art Not War" iconography with intricate butterfly mandalas, the artists reveal the "relentless experimentation" required to find harmony on the edge of chaos. Discover the stories behind: The Third Eye Butterfly Mandala: A fusion of Hirst’s meticulous wings and Fairey’s bold graphics. Secret from the Deep: Submerging street art icons into the "clinical" world of Hirst. Troubled Waters: The massive 5-metre collaboration that surprised even the artists themselves. The Punk Influence: How the Sex Pistols and The Clash inspired a shared "no rules" philosophy. "A great collaboration involves a lot of trust, communication, and a lot of trial and error." 🎞 Chapters 0:00 The Nature of Collaboration 1:30 Melding Butterfly Mandalas & Street Art 3:45 Submerging an Invader in Formaldehyde 5:10 Positive Space vs Negative Space: The Tiles 7:20 Spray Paint on Spot Paintings 9:00 The Scalpel Mandalas & Gender Politics 11:30 The "Punk" Cigarette Paintings 13:45 Troubled Waters: The 5-Metre Masterpiece 15:20 Why "Three Old Guys" are still experimenting 🎥 Presented by HENI Talks — films that bring art, design, and architecture to life. 🔔 Subscribe for more films on art, architecture, and culture: / @henitalks 👍 Like, comment, and share to support our work! 🌐 Learn more: Web — https://heni.com/ Instagram — / heni TikTok — / heni X — https://x.com/heni #️⃣ Hashtags #DamienHirst #ShepardFairey #Invader #StreetArt #ContemporaryArt #TripleTrouble #HENITalks #ArtCollaboration #ObeyGiant #SpaceInvader #ArtDocumentary
