1
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:09,546
We don´t inspire each other, we steal from each other.

2
00:00:09,546 --> 00:00:10,492
Yes.

3
00:00:11,418 --> 00:00:13,030
So, inspiration is...

4
00:00:13,057 --> 00:00:16,256
Yes, is from the world of lies, it's stealing!

5
00:00:16,256 --> 00:00:18,348
Tal R "Blind Date", 2009-2010

6
00:00:20,796 --> 00:00:23,598
Daniel Richter "Study for the amazing comeback of Dr Freud", 2005

7
00:00:26,814 --> 00:00:30,708
It's called "Study for the amazing comeback of Dr. Freud".

8
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

9
00:00:34,845 --> 00:00:38,241
and you look at the year, and then you have a package of three things:

10
00:00:38,303 --> 00:00:40,392
year, title and image.

11
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:42,612
It's "Blind Date".

12
00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:46,045
He made a joke!

13
00:00:46,075 --> 00:00:47,591
He wants to confuse us.

14
00:00:47,729 --> 00:00:51,368
It looks like a weird nude from the back

15
00:00:51,368 --> 00:00:53,440
the figure is transparent as the shadow is transparent

16
00:00:53,471 --> 00:01:01,629
and then, on the top of this figure is this weird "moofti" or Taliban looking face.

17
00:01:02,015 --> 00:01:09,005
It's obviously a police man who has disguised himself as a cup of tea,

18
00:01:09,022 --> 00:01:11,801
and a wealthy man with a gun.

19
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

20
00:01:22,850 --> 00:01:24,666
it doesn't really belong to the body.

21
00:01:24,851 --> 00:01:31,266
There is also humanity, and humanity is in bad shape, and endangered.

22
00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:37,997
A naked human body in a Taliban is something that is usually not mixed.

23
00:01:38,382 --> 00:01:42,210
It's about financial power versus the power of the state,

24
00:01:42,226 --> 00:01:45,998
and the struggle between these two evil powers.

25
00:01:46,261 --> 00:01:49,402
There is all this kind of "roads" into the painting,

26
00:01:49,511 --> 00:01:54,479
and when you leave, you probably have more questions than answers,

27
00:01:54,479 --> 00:01:57,156
and that's the generosity of the painting.

28
00:02:01,343 --> 00:02:06,778
There is always the level of, what do you call... content?, and interpretation.

29
00:02:07,209 --> 00:02:09,724
It looks actually like Daniel had other plans,

30
00:02:09,849 --> 00:02:13,013
but first he had other plans that went that direction,

31
00:02:13,013 --> 00:02:15,105
because a lot of the paint is running that direction.

32
00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:20,012
You call these "noses", the colours that dropped, and then he tried to hide them

33
00:02:20,012 --> 00:02:22,253
with the green and then he found out

34
00:02:22,253 --> 00:02:25,084
he took the wrong colour, and you will see through it anyway.

35
00:02:25,224 --> 00:02:28,567
And then finally, suddenly, he probably tried different directions

36
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.

37
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.

38
00:02:40,935 --> 00:02:43,442
It's almost like a drawing,

39
00:02:44,289 --> 00:02:47,840
it´s just thinly painted on the top of a lot of mess.

40
00:02:47,979 --> 00:02:50,972
I think it's the absolute right thing to do because

41
00:02:50,972 --> 00:02:57,545
it leaves place for the accident and let´s say, playfulness or intelligence of the accident.

42
00:02:57,654 --> 00:03:00,624
I actually like that is absolutely flat,

43
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,092
absolutely flat, and closed,

44
00:03:04,092 --> 00:03:08,049
and I like this notion and way of just drawing over this flatness.

45
00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:12,060
At the end of the day, I think, it's always about how it's done,

46
00:03:12,060 --> 00:03:17,780
and the way is done also describes the view on the world.

47
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,977
I think I feel connected.

48
00:03:27,208 --> 00:03:29,937
It's the work, I would say, that was...

49
00:03:29,937 --> 00:03:32,420
I've never seen before but immediately understand where it comes from.

50
00:03:33,065 --> 00:03:35,932
I think we have the share of the same interest.

51
00:03:35,932 --> 00:03:38,359
I think we eat from a lot of the same sources.

52
00:03:38,699 --> 00:03:42,856
I think when we both die, when we are nearing death,

53
00:03:42,856 --> 00:03:45,237
people will not be able to tear them apart anymore.

54
00:03:47,454 --> 00:03:48,570
It means nothing,

55
00:03:48,601 --> 00:03:49,665
it's just like in the library,

56
00:03:49,681 --> 00:03:51,344
he is with an "R" and I'm with an "R".

57
00:03:51,344 --> 00:03:52,807
That's why they put as together.

58
00:03:54,380 --> 00:03:56,076
It's all a coincidence.
