Jumping
the Shark,
2014; Video, 2'38”
“Jumping the shark”
is an idiom used to describe the moment in the evolution of a
television show when it begins to decline in quality. Signaled by a
particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers
use a ridiculous gimmick in an attempt to keep viewers' interest. It
is a sign of desperation. In this movie I am jumping back and forth
over Damien Hirst's The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living.
