“A mirror with a red velour curtain drawn over it, with the text I look at things embroidered on it. When you draw the curtain aside, the sentence continues on the mirror – With eyes different from yours – and the viewer sees himself in reflection. As a general comment the statement functions as a catalyst for the artistic process. The artist looks at the world, shows it to us, and we are induced to reflect on our own starting point. I look at things with eyes different from yours is a sentence that marks a fundamental existential condition: that we see the world in terms of our own surroundings, and that the Other is always somewhere else, with other eyes – and that this awareness is the best starting point for seeing and understanding one another with respect. Just as art can move us to such reflection.”
