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