00:00A perna de abodem, sim, para mim, a proibir.
00:03Jeff Koons visitou o Museu de Arte Cicládica em Atenas,
00:06onde pode ser vista a nova escultura que criou.
00:09É inspirada nas chamadas Vénus,
00:12as imagens de mulheres nuas esculpidas na Europa no período do Paleolítico.
00:17São as mais antigas representações materiais do corpo feminino.
00:21O artista norte-americano focou-se numa estatueta de marfim de mamute
00:25que data de aproximadamente 28 mil anos.
00:28Uma figura que o tenha influenciado desde a década de 70 do século passado.
00:58E, ao mesmo tempo, pode ter essa capacidade
01:03de manter realmente profunda informação
01:07dentro de si mesmo sobre a história humana humana.
01:10Does a prehistoric art, this symbol of our cultural history,
01:16have anything to tell us today, for you, for everybody?
01:20Today, we're still trying to embed information,
01:24share information with each other
01:26so that we are able to maintain our civil quality,
01:32be a civilisation,
01:34to be able to continue the information
01:36that helps us survive and to thrive.
01:40We live in very dark times,
01:42and this is a very luminous work.
01:45So, what's the message?
01:46I try to believe in humanity.
01:49I believe in trying to be the best that we can be
01:52and to be able to not make any form of judgments,
01:58to find everything perfect in its own being
02:02and practice acceptance.
02:04In the long run,
02:06we're here speaking about an artwork
02:08and other artworks that exist from the past,
02:13but they're only objects.
02:16What we really care about
02:18are being able to accept ourselves as individuals
02:22and our ability to accept other people
02:25for the individuals that they are.
02:28That's what's really relevant to us as human beings,
02:32to be able to accept each other.
