0:00:07.674,0:00:09.546 We don´t inspire each other, we steal from each other. 0:00:09.546,0:00:10.492 Yes. 0:00:11.418,0:00:13.300 So, inspiration is... 0:00:13.057,0:00:16.256 Yes, is from the world of lies, it's stealing! 0:00:16.256,0:00:18.348 Tal R "Blind Date", 2009-2010 0:00:20.796,0:00:23.598 Daniel Richter "Study for the amazing comeback of Dr Freud", 2005 0:00:26.814,0:00:30.708 It's called "Study for the amazing comeback of Dr. Freud". 0:00:30.924,0:00:34.845 The usual chronography when you watch any painting, you look at the image and then you look at the title 0:00:34.845,0:00:38.241 and you look at the year, and then you have a package of three things: 0:00:38.303,0:00:40.392 year, title and image. 0:00:40.700,0:00:42.612 It's "Blind Date". 0:00:44.350,0:00:46.045 He made a joke! 0:00:46.075,0:00:47.591 He wants to confuse us. 0:00:47.729,0:00:51.368 It looks like a weird nude from the back 0:00:51.368,0:00:53.440 the figure is transparent as the shadow is transparent 0:00:53.471,0:01:01.629 and then, on the top of this figure is this weird "moofti" or Taliban looking face. 0:01:02.015,0:01:09.005 It's obviously a police man who has disguised himself as a cup of tea, 0:01:09.022,0:01:11.801 and a wealthy man with a gun. 0:01:16.125,0:01:22.850 It could be a kind of a woman dressed up like a man, but even the head seems like 0:01:22.850,0:01:24.666 it doesn't really belong to the body. 0:01:24.851,0:01:31.266 There is also humanity, and humanity is in bad shape, and endangered. 0:01:31.620,0:01:37.997 A naked human body in a Taliban is something that is usually not mixed. 0:01:38.382,0:01:42.210 It's about financial power versus the power of the state, 0:01:42.226,0:01:45.998 and the struggle between these two evil powers. 0:01:46.261,0:01:49.402 There is all this kind of "roads" into the painting, 0:01:49.511,0:01:54.479 and when you leave, you probably have more questions than answers, 0:01:54.479,0:01:57.156 and that's the generosity of the painting. 0:02:01.343,0:02:06.778 There is always the level of, what do you call... content?, and interpretation. 0:02:07.209,0:02:09.724 It looks actually like Daniel had other plans, 0:02:09.849,0:02:13.013 but first he had other plans that went that direction, 0:02:13.013,0:02:15.105 because a lot of the paint is running that direction. 0:02:15.430,0:02:20.012 You call these "noses", the colours that dropped, and then he tried to hide them 0:02:20.012,0:02:22.253 with the green and then he found out 0:02:22.253,0:02:25.084 he took the wrong colour, and you will see through it anyway. 0:02:25.224,0:02:28.567 And then finally, suddenly, he probably tried different directions 0:02:28.660,0:02:33.591 and then in the end he did this "pavour" style painting of just drawing all over the surface. 0:02:33.731,0:02:40.748 And then he just left it as an artistic decision, but honestly, it's just laziness and improvisation. 0:02:40.935,0:02:43.442 It's almost like a drawing, 0:02:44.289,0:02:47.840 it´s just thinly painted on the top of a lot of mess. 0:02:47.979,0:02:50.972 I think it's the absolute right thing to do because 0:02:50.972,0:02:57.545 it leaves place for the accident and let´s say, playfulness or intelligence of the accident. 0:02:57.654,0:03:00.624 I actually like that is absolutely flat, 0:03:00.639,0:03:04.092 absolutely flat, and closed, 0:03:04.092,0:03:08.049 and I like this notion and way of just drawing over this flatness. 0:03:08.220,0:03:12.060 At the end of the day, I think, it's always about how it's done, 0:03:12.060,0:03:17.780 and the way is done also describes the view on the world. 0:03:23.520,0:03:25.977 I think I feel connected. 0:03:27.208,0:03:29.937 It's the work, I would say, that was... 0:03:29.937,0:03:32.420 I've never seen before but immediately understand where it comes from. 0:03:33.065,0:03:35.932 I think we have the share of the same interest. 0:03:35.932,0:03:38.359 I think we eat from a lot of the same sources. 0:03:38.699,0:03:42.856 I think when we both die, when we are nearing death, 0:03:42.856,0:03:45.237 people will not be able to tear them apart anymore. 0:03:47.454,0:03:48.570 It means nothing, 0:03:48.601,0:03:49.665 it's just like in the library, 0:03:49.681,0:03:51.344 he is with an "R" and I'm with an "R". 0:03:51.344,0:03:52.807 That's why they put as together. 0:03:54.380,0:03:56.076 It's all a coincidence.
