1
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,560
What do you see?

2
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:36,320
You see that your eyes are forcing patterns in your vision.

3
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,840
For example, you see a kind of interrupted regularity over there...

4
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,880
There are only dots, there is no line at all, but your eyes see a line.

5
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,120
However, if you look closely, then it is just dots very close to each other.

6
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,760
I studied various microscopic images of our cells and tiny organs today...

7
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,680
And its the same: this is basically also seeing patterns.

8
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,600
To see where these cells are relative to each other.

9
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,960
Is it mere appearance, or is it real?

10
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,800
Sometimes you look and see patterns you did not expect at all.

11
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,160
And this more or less the same thing.

12
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,080
Here is another example, there is no line at all...

13
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,080
It is just two colliding surfaces of dots.

14
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,680
The eye creates a line.

15
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,040
So these patterns have to pop up in your mind...

16
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,040
And you have to ask yourself immediately:

17
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:39,920
Is this an actual pattern? Is it real, or my imagination, or coincidence?

18
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,720
You will see the very same phenomenon on different places in this painting.

19
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,680
What the artist is doing... it is just dots everywhere.

20
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,080
This seems a kind of sandy road...

21
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,480
That is where the mountain lizard walks.

22
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,880
The work is called 'Mountain Lizard Dreaming'.

23
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,000
She made hundreds of paintings.

24
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,520
Its a very symbolic story, for the title always contains something related to dreaming.

25
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,720
And they always have a cross, like this one.

26
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,160
It is composed of firm strokes.

27
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,920
In a way it breaks the entire dot pattern...

28
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,880
And at the same time it directs your attention.

29
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:39,680
Once you look to the centre of the piece...

30
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,360
Everything starts to move

31
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,160
So it is alive?

32
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,680
Yes, it is a living painting.
