[OLAFUR ELIASSON]
The placement of the color,

00:00:01.510 --> 00:00:03.220
we should locate here on the model,

00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:05.260
and do it exactly like that, on-site.

00:00:05.260 --> 00:00:05.760
[ASSISTANT] Okay.

00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:12.940
[ELIASSON] The objects are not necessarily
the most interesting part about art.

00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:17.860
It is what the object does to me
when I look at it or engage in it

00:00:17.860 --> 00:00:19.260
that is actually interesting.

00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:34.540
You are somehow provoked into
a more negotiating role

00:00:34.540 --> 00:00:36.720
because you go like,
"What am I looking at?"

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:44.760
Then you are more likely to also inquire,
"Well, what does looking actually mean?"

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:47.900
"And why am I seeing things
the way I'm seeing it?"

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:56.760
Instead of questioning the object,
you are in fact questioning yourself.

00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:02.680
That, I think, is one of the great things
that art can do.

00:01:03.260 --> 00:01:09.100
Art can somehow offer an opportunity
to do some self-evaluation.
