The New York Times interviewed Hockney about his new photographic work while staying at the Mayflower Hotel in 1982. The artist explained: “One-point perspective portrays a single, frozen moment, seen by a single, unmoving eye. But humans do not see that way. Their eyes are constantly moving, seeing in many little glances. Even when we are asleep, our eyes move.” He views each polaroid as a “glance” that could be combined to reproduce more accurately the action of looking. ”It’s a more human way of seeing,” the artist explains. ”Your body’s been given back to you, in a sense.”
