Editor: Here we have Bridget Riley’s "Fragment 4/6," a work held at the Tate. It’s an array of black zeros on a white ground, minimalist and yet…slightly disorienting. What's your take on it? Curator: It’s almost like a visual mantra, isn’t it? Riley teases our perception. The subtle shifts in those zeros...it’s like they’re breathing, creating a silent rhythm. Do you feel that pulse? Editor: I think so. It’s almost hypnotic. Curator: Exactly! It’s a deep dive into the mechanics of seeing, where simplicity unlocks complexity. It makes me consider the power of repetition. Editor: I'm seeing it completely differently now. Curator: Wonderful, isn't it, how art can change our view?
