Bruce’s work in the field of art spans many fields. A few of the fields he works in are as a sculptor, photographer, and video artist. The piece in this picture is one of his most famous sculptures. This particular piece is known as “One Hundred Fish Fountain.” It features ninety-seven actual fish cast in bronze and then suspended in the air. They also shoot water out of their mouths.
It’s a very violent sculpture because it’s as if the fish were all turned to stone in their natural habitat. They are all there just suspending with metal hooks in the air. At the same time, it’s a cool piece to see because of the shine in the bronze and the noise coming from the water being shot everywhere. If there was no noise from the water it would probably be like a graveyard but I believe the noise adds to the beauty of the piece. The noise, shine, and the sheer number of fish all come together in a frightening but beautiful piece.
