Salvador Dalí works on an experiment in his Port Lligat studio, 1957. Captured in profile under dramatic lighting, the artist holds a sea urchin, fitted with a swan feather, moving it back and forth to create markings on a sheet of blackened paper. On the table before him, an array of other sea urchins and materials lie ready for his intense artistic and scientific observation.
