Watched by his wife Gala, Salvador Dalí undertakes an experiment in his studio in Portlligat, Spain, 1957. Gala presents a large photogram for his inspection, an artwork created with a sea urchin and a swan feather against a dark background. Seated in profile at a cluttered table, Dalí holds a real sea urchin, using it and a feather to mark another sheet of blackened paper, surrounded by the materials of his creative process.
