Where Land, Sea and Art collide
Fairmont Hotel, Sirru Fen Fushi, Maldives
The Sculpture Coralarium is situated in the centre of the largest developed coral lagoon in the Maldives, on the island resort of Fairmont Sirru Fen Fushi. The artwork by Jason deCaires Taylor is a semi-submerged tidal gallery space that exhibits a series of sculptural artworks on the skyline, inter-tidal waterline and seabed.
As world's first semi submerged tidal Art Gallery it is cube shaped, six metres tall, with its front façade submerged up to median tide of three metres. The design of the walls is based on natural coral structures and is porous to allow the tides, current and marine life to pass through and the structure to “breathe” within its location.

Such a beautiful, unusual and interesting sculpture to be destroyed by ignorance... Please Mr Taylor do create another where it will be appreciated.
Seeing that this was destroyed nearly brought me to tears. Such a beautiful work, to think that so many will never be able to see this in person.
every element of design, shape, color, texture has been so thoughtfully presented. exceedingly impressive.
This is/was very beautiful artwork. So creative and looked like it was both educational and environmentally friendly for marine life and the coral. I'm glad we can at least see what it looked like here on youtube.
This is amazing and inspiring. Congratulations.
Beautiful
Great inspiring work Jason, you certainly have come a long way since you were rigging for me at ExCeL. Chris
So sad to get your e mail yesterday, it must be heart breaking to see that work destroyed by such closed minds.
厉害！！！
Una obra maravillosa y una gran idea. Creo que has tenido mucha suerte siendo el autor de este Coralarium, seguro que estás muy orgulloso de se el autor.
*The destruction of this artwork is a shame !!! I just can hope it will be rebuilt ! Best greets to you : Jason Taylor ---> You did and do a fantastic job ! I only discovered your work in Lanzarote and I really hope I will discover your other works in the future*
just put it somewhere else it's beautiful!!!! it has to be out somewhere else
Who else got forced to watch this for art class?
Hello, beautiful work. I'm commenting from The Express - please may we use a clip of this with credit to you?
And now its gone !
Mimi V This act was done by the opposition parties pressure towards the government and forcing the president yameen abdul gayoom to take that action....as you know the opposition parties are backed and funded by countries such as UK,USA,Israel and India....so how can the president stand up to the protests from a coalition backed by the governments of these major super powers of the world....I would have done the same if I was him....
Bot? Or you are brainwashed mate. Sure, those western nations hold diplomatic influence globally, but that influence had nothing to do with the destruction of this artwork. Thugs, reactionaries did this, in the name of your religion.
@@mohamednaseer9167 say what ? I never even thought about religion or politics , just sad that such an interesting and beautiful art piece was gone.
I wonder how he feels about his work being destroyed.
100th like😜
So sad
They could have offered to give it back... but the artist could have thought a little bit more about where to put the artwork to begin with. One needs to be respectful of indigenous cultures.
there must have been a miscommunication - imagine the expenses of making a public artwork thats basically illegal. are the guidelines clear in the maldives 👀
They don't deserved this kind art, they destroyed it, sadly they're as always ignorant beasts....
This is interesting. They story seems to want to make this out to be Islamic extremism ... but another story revealed that it was public sentiment against the "sculpture". I have seen how people can be mobilized against works of arts or statues. I think it is the creepy looking people in this thing that have people weirded out, not necessarily any religious thinking.
Since you appear to believe anything you read, I will try to explain the truth to you. The negative public sentiment in the Maldives was caused by an ignorant warlord who lived over 1200 years ago, who created a fascist ideology from a mixture of plagiarism from Judaism and his own immoral thoughts. He was hell-bent on world domination through the creation and forced spreading of his own fascist ideology. It became a scourge of the Earth that still festers to this day. His name was Muhammad and the ideology is called Islam. To be fair, Christianity is hardly any better and the only reason Judaism is no longer a problem is because all current 12 million living Jews are smart enough to realize their ancestors made up that part about a god and simply remain Jewish because they like the ritual and lifestyle.
You said you wanted the truth...can you handle the truth?
wow did they really destroy this beauty over extreme religion and court rule?
Once again the limited and controlling mindset of ideology burdens beauty and expression.
Its destruction confirm that Islam is a big threat against creativity and imaginary of humanity.
That is simply untrue. You should read up on the influences of Islamic art over the ages, long before any of these nut jobs started carrying out vile acts in its name...
Being Muslim in the Maldives is mandated by law which says a lot, the people who have torn this down are your every day Muslim, you dont hear very much about Islamism in the Maldives do you, they might not be a threat but are certainly intolerant of any culture that isnt islamic.
As for islamic art of course thats allowed to be expressed because it affirms Islam as the law, look to charlie hebdo mocking the prophet, some Muslims didn't like that so they killed them for the crime in their eyes of mocking their prophet. nut jobs yes but islamic nut jobs, islamists and everyday Muslims read the same books
@@CyKosis1973 Simply saying something is or isn't true does not make it so. Additiomally, his claim was in regards to a present situation. Your response was arguing something in the past. Do you see how your argument does not track.
Let's assume that Islam in the past was open to free, artistic expression (it was not, to be clear). So assuming this incorrect argument to be true, it in no way proves that Islam is currently open to free expression of any kind.
In fact, I argue that not in the entire history of the ideology has there been any significant example of an openness to free expression within Islam. Islam was imagined by an individual hell-bent (hell is a mythical place, used here in "religionis ironiam") on fascist control, and it is apparent in the plagiarism of Judaism and the disgusting claims he invented on his own.
@Wingsuiter. Did you just tell me that saying something is true or untrue doesn't make it so and then immediately proceed to tell me something wasn't true? Great debating, pal, great debating...
@@CyKosis1973 You made the claim that Islam has not restricted free expression. I said your claim does not constitute evidence. In fact, the Quran restricts free expression.
Such ignorance and destruction....what a shame its gone because this ignorance
fuck sakes - offensive to Islam? What the hell doesn't offend them???!??
a terrible sight
What a beautiful structure. But how can the sculptor be so naive or ignorant enough to include human figures in this installation. How can one be in that country and not be aware of the cultural sensitivity to any perceived slight to their religion? It's like a Western artist going and painting a Mural on Ayer's Rock then being surprised when the locals object. He should have erected it somewhere where it would have been fully appreciated and not destroyed because of primitive superstition.
You are free to have your opinion, and I'm equally free to call your opinion disgusting.
When you seek both personal and absolute truths, those truths only need be protected by reason and evidence. There is no evidence or reason to support the supposed personal or absolute "truths" suggested by Islam. This is evident by the facist control exerted by any government with an Islamic majority population. This is yet another example among many.
Religious apologetics is the most vial and dangerous thing that we face as a civilization aside from Nuclear Weapons.
I understand from your comment that you are either secular or hold very liberal religious beliefs, but what you need to understand is that Islam (in its current form) will not rest until the entire world is Islam and all infidels are converted it killed. Once the world is under Islamic control, the mere subjugation of non-Muslims will no longer be needed. This is why your apologetics may be more dangerous the the doctrine or the believers themselves.
This act was done by the opposition parties pressure towards the government and forcing the president yameen abdul gayoom to take that action....as you know the opposition parties are backed and funded by countries such as UK,USA,Israel and India....so how can the president stand up to the protests from a coalition backed by the governments of these major super powers of the world....I would have done the same if I was him....
perhaps you weren't aware that the authorities had previously granted permission to build the structure, and that it was done in consultation and continuous dialogue with them? It took 9 months to build, with both international and local collaborators, so it would have been impossible for them not to be aware of it. Sadly, it seems local politics and religious over sensitivity caused it to be destroyed..what a waste of money, effort, resources and above all artistry.
No, I wasn't aware of that, so thank you for bringing it to my attention. In light of this new information I of course retract my initial comments.
You are free to have your opinion, and I'm equally free to call you a nutjob
