First results of Salvador Dalí's experiments with the sea urchin holding a swanfeather or a dried flower and moving backwards and forewards thus marking the blackened paper. These experiments he is carrying out at his studio in his Spanish home at Portlligat, Cadaqués on the Costa Brava 1957.
In his Portlligat studio in 1957, Salvador Dalí examines the first results of his experiments with a sea urchin. Captured from the side, wearing a dark hat and glasses, he is intently focused on a brightly illuminated panel displaying marks made by the creature as it moved across blackened paper holding a feather or a dried flower. His hand is raised toward the glowing surface, surrounded by drawings of polyhedra and spirals and a delicate, silhouetted dandelion puff on his cluttered desk.
