Jim Carrey acquires NFT-painting featuring abandoned sanatorium in Georgia

Jim Carrey has bought a moving NFT picture depicting an abandoned sanatorium in Tskaltubo, Georgia.

Report informs, citing foreign media, that it is a digital work put up for sale on SuperRare entitled “Devotion“.

The work belongs to the collection “The Wild Within” by Ryan Koopmans and Alice Wexell. It is a series of digital works that aim to bring new life into abandoned Soviet-era buildings.

These works are based on real spaces in the physical world, and in which a kind of animated rebirth is recreated in the digital world.

Specifically, Devotion is based on a building in the Georgian town of Tskaltubo, a popular Soviet tourist destination famous for its therapeutic waters.

After being created by Ryan Koopmans about six months ago, the Devotion NFT was then purchased a few days ago by user moonpay for 20 ETH (almost $40,000). Moonpay then sent the token to Jim Carrey a couple of days ago, so the American actor is currently the owner of this NFT.

According to Carrey, this work delicately captures the exquisite and relentless reinvention of nature.
