In Be a Fisherman, Artifishal invites viewers into a cosmic dreamscape where the boundaries between self, identity, and the universe dissolve into starlight and shadow. The title suggests a narrative tied to fishing—perhaps the ancient metaphor of seeking and discovery—but intriguingly, there’s not a single fish in sight. That absence isn’t a flaw; it’s a deliberate sleight of hand. Fishing, in Artifishal’s world, is not about the catch—it’s about the search itself. What sets Be a Fisherman apart is how it translated this existential search into the mechanics of collecting. Rather than offering a fixed print edition to mint, Artifishal invited collectors to engage with the work through a minting mechanism based on chance and risk. 49 print editions of each of the 11 works were released, with a single original of each work interspersed among them, creating a total of 550 pieces.
