On my desk in my office, I keep a small clay pot
0
1018
4304
Na stolu u mome uredu, držim mali glineni lončić
00:21
that I made in college. It's raku, which is a kind of pottery
1
5322
4463
kojeg sam napravila na fakultetu. Lončić je raku, to je keramički stil
00:25
that began in Japan centuries ago as a way of
2
9785
4507
nastao u Japanu prije puno stoljeća
00:30
making bowls for the Japanese tea ceremony.
3
14292
4047
kao način pravljenja šalica za japansku čajanku.
00:34
This one is more than 400 years old.
4
18339
3265
Ova je starija od 400 godina.
00:37
Each one was pinched or carved out of a ball of clay,
5
21604
4464
Svaka je nastala i oblikovana iz kugle gline,
00:41
and it was the imperfections that people cherished.
6
26068
4296
i ono što su ljudi cijenili bila je nesavršenost.
00:46
Everyday pots like this cup take eight to 10 hours to fire.
7
30364
8072
Uobičajeni lončići kao ovaj trebaju oko 8 do 10 sati kako bi se zapekli.
00:54
I just took this out of the kiln last week, and the kiln itself
8
38436
3109
Ovaj lončić sam prošli tjedan izvadila iz peći, i samoj peći
00:57
takes another day or two to cool down, but raku
9
41545
4484
treba dan dva da se ohladi,
01:01
is really fast. You do it outside, and you take the kiln
10
46029
4803
ali raku se hladi mnogo brže. Postupak se obavlja vani, i peć se pojača
01:06
up to temperature. In 15 minutes, it goes to 1,500 degrees,
11
50832
4555
na odgovarajuću temperaturu. Za 15 minuta dostigne temperaturu od 1.500 stupnjeva,
01:11
and as soon as you see that the glaze has melted inside,
12
55387
3658
i čim primjetite da se glazura otopila,
01:14
you can see that faint sheen, you turn the kiln off,
13
59045
2818
možete primjetiti lagani sjaj, ugasite peć,
01:17
and you reach in with these long metal tongs,
14
61863
2587
te služeći se dugačkim metalnim štapovima posegnite unutra, i
01:20
you grab the pot, and in Japan, this red-hot pot
15
64450
4485
izvadite lončić. U Japanu, takav žareće crveni lončić,
01:24
would be immediately immersed in a solution of green tea,
16
68935
4914
bi odmah bio uronjen u otopinu zelenog čaja,
01:29
and you can imagine what that steam would smell like.
17
73849
3232
i možete si zamisliti miris te pare.
01:32
But here in the United States, we ramp up the drama
18
77081
3165
Ali ovdje u SAD-u, volimo malo začiniti stvari,
01:36
a little bit, and we drop our pots into sawdust,
19
80246
3665
pa tako uranjamo naše lončiće u piljevinu,
01:39
which catches on fire, and you take a garbage pail,
20
83911
3024
koja se zapali. Onda uzimamo kantu za smeće
01:42
and you put it on top, and smoke starts pouring out.
21
86935
4912
i s njom ju poklopimo i tada počne izlaziti dim.
01:47
I would come home with my clothes reeking of woodsmoke.
22
91847
4880
Dolazila bih kući sa odjećom koja bi mirisala na paljevinu.
01:52
I love raku because it allows me to play with the elements.
23
96727
5098
Volim raku jer mi dozvoljava da se poigravam sa elementima
01:57
I can shape a pot out of clay and choose a glaze,
24
101825
4496
Iz gline mogu oblikovati lončić i izabrati glazuru,
02:02
but then I have to let it go to the fire and the smoke,
25
106321
4304
ali onda ga moram izložiti vatri i dimu,
02:06
and what's wonderful is the surprises that happen,
26
110625
2465
i divni su rezultati koji iz toga proizlaze,
02:08
like this crackle pattern, because it's really stressful
27
113090
3273
kao što je uzorak pukotine, jer je sve to skupa vrlo stresno
02:12
on these pots. They go from 1,500 degrees
28
116363
2611
za lončiće. Oni mijenjaju temperaturu od 1.500 stupnjeva
02:14
to room temperature in the space of just a minute.
29
118974
4079
do sobne temperature u samo jednoj minuti.
02:18
Raku is a wonderful metaphor for the process of creativity.
30
123053
5951
Raku je divna metafora za proces kreativnosti.
02:24
I find in so many things that tension between
31
129004
3765
U mnogo stvari pronalazim tu tenziju
02:28
what I can control and what I have to let go
32
132769
3435
između onoga što mogu kontrolirati i onoga što ne mogu,
02:32
happens all the time, whether I'm creating a new radio show
33
136204
3794
događa se konstantno, bilo da radim na novoj radijskoj emisiji
02:35
or just at home negotiating with my teenage sons.
34
139998
5085
ili raspravljam kod kuće sa svojim sinovima tinejdžerima.
02:40
When I sat down to write a book about creativity,
35
145083
3974
Kada sam se odlučila napisati knjigu o kreativnosti,
02:44
I realized that the steps were reversed.
36
149057
2484
shvatila sam kako su koraci obrnuti.
02:47
I had to let go at the very beginning, and I had to
37
151541
3649
U samom početku morala sam se prepustiti
02:51
immerse myself in the stories of hundreds of artists
38
155190
4604
i uroniti u priče stotine umjetnika,
02:55
and writers and musicians and filmmakers, and as I listened
39
159794
4475
pisaca, glazbenika i redatelja, i slušajući
03:00
to these stories, I realized that creativity
40
164269
5312
njihove priče, shvatila sam da se kreativnost
03:05
grows out of everyday experiences
41
169581
3328
povećava svakodnevnim iskustvima
03:08
more often than you might think, including
42
172909
3704
češće nego što zapravo mislimo, uključujući
03:12
letting go.
43
176613
2920
prepuštanje.
03:15
It was supposed to break, but that's okay. (Laughter) (Laughs)
44
179533
3790
Trebao se razbiti, ali to je u redu.(Smijeh) (Smije se).
03:19
That's part of the letting go, is sometimes it happens
45
183323
2949
I to je dio puštanja, nekada se dogodi
03:22
and sometimes it doesn't, because creativity also grows
46
186272
3405
ali nekada i ne, jer kreativnost također proizlazi
03:25
from the broken places.
47
189677
2777
i iz slomljenih mjesta.
03:28
The best way to learn about anything
48
192454
2647
Najbolji način učenja o svemu
03:31
is through stories, and so I want to tell you a story
49
195101
4034
jest kroz priču, tako da vam želim ispričati priču
03:35
about work and play and about four aspects of life
50
199135
5182
o poslu i igri i o 4 aspekta života
03:40
that we need to embrace
51
204317
2396
koja trebamo prihvatiti
03:42
in order for our own creativity to flourish.
52
206713
4068
kako bi se naša kreativnost razvila.
03:46
The first embrace is something that we think,
53
210781
2016
Prva stvar koju trebamo prihvatiti je nešto za što mislimo,
03:48
"Oh, this is very easy," but it's actually getting harder,
54
212797
4206
"Oh, ovo je vrlo lako," ali zapravo postaje sve teže,
03:52
and that's paying attention to the world around us.
55
217003
3995
a to je praćenje onoga što se događa oko nas.
03:56
So many artists speak about needing to be open,
56
220998
4455
Puno umjetnika priča o tome kako trebamo biti otvoreni,
04:01
to embrace experience, and that's hard to do when
57
225453
3440
prihvatiti nova iskustva, a to je teško učiniti kad
04:04
you have a lighted rectangle in your pocket that
58
228893
3618
imate osvijetljeni kvadrat u džepu koji
04:08
takes all of your focus.
59
232511
3587
vam odvlači pozornost.
04:11
The filmmaker Mira Nair speaks about growing up
60
236098
4140
Redateljica Mira Nair govori o odrastanju
04:16
in a small town in India. Its name is Bhubaneswar,
61
240238
4605
u malom gradu u Indiji. Zove se Bhubaneswar,
04:20
and here's a picture of one of the temples in her town.
62
244843
3693
a ovo je slika jednog od hramova u njemu.
04:24
Mira Nair: In this little town, there were like 2,000 temples.
63
248536
2872
Mira Nair: U ovom malom gradiću, nalazilo se oko 2.000 hramova.
04:27
We played cricket all the time. We kind of grew up
64
251408
2856
Cijelo vrijeme smo igrali kriket. Na neki način smo odrasli
04:30
in the rubble. The major thing that inspired me,
65
254264
3256
okruženi ruševinama. Najveća stvar koja me inspirirala,
04:33
that led me on this path, that made me a filmmaker eventually,
66
257520
3648
koja me dovela na ovaj put i učinila me redateljicom,
04:37
was traveling folk theater that would come through the town
67
261168
3552
jest putujuće narodno kazalište koje bi dolazilo u grad
04:40
and I would go off and see these great battles
68
264720
3312
i ja bih odlazila gledati velike borbe između
04:43
of good and evil by two people in a school field
69
268032
3416
dobra i zla dvoje ljudi na školskom igralištu
04:47
with no props but with a lot of, you know,
70
271448
2536
bez ikakvih rekvizita ali sa puno, znate,
04:49
passion, and hashish as well, and it was amazing.
71
273984
3695
strasti, i hašiša također, i bilo je nevjerojatno.
04:53
You know, the folk tales of Mahabharata and Ramayana,
72
277679
2794
Znate, narodne priče Mahabharate i Ramayana,
04:56
the two holy books, the epics that everything comes out of
73
280473
3495
dvije svete knjige, epovi iz kojih proizlazi sve
04:59
in India, they say. After seeing that Jatra, the folk theater,
74
283968
3530
u Indiji, kako kažu. Nakon što sam vidjela Jatru, narodno kazalište
05:03
I knew I wanted to get on, you know, and perform.
75
287498
4990
znala sam kako i ja želim nastupati.
05:08
Julie Burstein: Isn't that a wonderful story?
76
292488
1907
Julie Burstein: Nije li to prekrasna priča?
05:10
You can see the sort of break in the everyday.
77
294395
2420
Nadahnuće možemo pronaći u svakodnevnici.
05:12
There they are in the school fields, but it's good and evil,
78
296815
2719
Nalazili su se na školskim igralištima, ali bilo je i dobrog i lošeg,
05:15
and passion and hashish. And Mira Nair was a young girl
79
299534
5533
i strasti i hašiša. Mira Nair je bila mlada djevojka
05:20
with thousands of other people watching this performance,
80
305067
3598
koja je, kao i tisuće ostalih ljudi, gledala taj nastup
05:24
but she was ready. She was ready to open up
81
308665
2950
ali ona je bila spremna. Bila se spremna otvoriti onome
05:27
to what it sparked in her, and it led her,
82
311615
3129
što je taj nastup probudio u njoj, i to ju je vodilo,
05:30
as she said, down this path to become
83
314744
2615
ona kaže, putem koji će ju dovesti
05:33
an award-winning filmmaker.
84
317359
2803
do nagrađivane redateljice.
05:36
So being open for that experience that might change you
85
320162
2821
Dakle, biti otvoreni novome iskustvu koje će vas možda promjeniti
05:38
is the first thing we need to embrace.
86
322983
2933
je prva stvar koju moramo prihvatiti.
05:41
Artists also speak about how some of their most powerful work
87
325916
5779
Umjetnici također pričaju o tome kako neki od njihovih najsnažnijih djela
05:47
comes out of the parts of life that are most difficult.
88
331695
4872
dolaze nadahnuti djelovima života koji su najteži.
05:52
The novelist Richard Ford speaks about
89
336567
3654
Romanopisac Richard Ford govori o
05:56
a childhood challenge that continues to be something
90
340221
4042
izazovu iz djetinjstva koje mu i danas predstavlja nešto
06:00
he wrestles with today. He's severely dyslexic.
91
344263
4760
s čime se bori. On ima teži oblik disleksije.
06:04
Richard Ford: I was slow to learn to read, went all the way
92
349023
2907
Richard Ford: Jako sam sporo učio čitati, kroz čitavo
06:07
through school not really reading more than the minimum,
93
351930
3832
školovanje sposobnost čitanja mi je bila minimalna
06:11
and still to this day can't read silently
94
355762
2528
i sve do današnjeg dana ne mogu u sebi čitati
06:14
much faster than I can read aloud,
95
358290
2848
ništa brže nego na glas,
06:17
but there were a lot of benefits to being dyslexic for me
96
361138
3776
ali disleksija mi je donijela puno prednosti,
06:20
because when I finally did reconcile myself to how slow
97
364914
3145
jer kada sam se konačno pomirio
06:23
I was going to have to do it, then I think I came very slowly
98
368059
4495
sa sporim napretkom, onda sam polako počeo
06:28
into an appreciation of all of those qualities of language
99
372554
3532
cijeniti sve ostale osobine jezika
06:31
and of sentences that are not just the cognitive
100
376086
2812
i rečenica, a ne samo kognitivne aspekte
06:34
aspects of language: the syncopations, the sounds of words,
101
378898
3113
jezika: skraćenice, zvuk riječi
06:37
what words look like, where paragraphs break,
102
382011
1843
izgled riječi, odjeljak između dijelova
06:39
where lines break. I mean, I wasn't so badly dyslexic that
103
383854
3027
i redova. . Hoću reći, nisam bio toliko disleksičan
06:42
I was disabled from reading. I just had to do it
104
386881
2938
da nisam mogao čitati. Samo sam to morao činiti
06:45
really slowly, and as I did, lingering on those sentences
105
389819
4543
vrlo sporo, i kroz taj proces, zadržavajući se na rečenicama
06:50
as I had to linger, I fell heir to language's other qualities,
106
394362
4360
počeo sam cijeniti ostale kvalitete jezika
06:54
which I think has helped me write sentences.
107
398722
3264
što mi je pomoglo u oblikovanju svojih rečenica.
06:57
JB: It's so powerful. Richard Ford, who's won the Pulitzer Prize,
108
401986
4080
JB: Snažna priča. Richard Ford, dobitnik Pulitzerove nagrade,
07:01
says that dyslexia helped him write sentences.
109
406066
5152
kaže kako mu je disleksija pomogla u oblikovanju rečenica.
07:07
He had to embrace this challenge, and I use that word
110
411218
2771
Morao je prihvatiti taj izazov, a tu riječ koristim
07:09
intentionally. He didn't have to overcome dyslexia.
111
413989
4113
namjerno. Nije morao prevladati disleksiju.
07:14
He had to learn from it. He had to learn to hear the music
112
418102
3508
On je morao naučiti iz nje. Morao je naučiti čuti glazbu
07:17
in language.
113
421610
3064
u jeziku.
07:20
Artists also speak about how pushing up against
114
424674
4570
Umjetnici također pričaju o tome kako im izlaženje
07:25
the limits of what they can do, sometimes pushing
115
429244
3394
izvan granica onoga što mogu, ponekad gurajući
07:28
into what they can't do, helps them focus
116
432638
3348
u ono što ne mogu pomaže usredotočiti se
07:31
on finding their own voice.
117
435986
3239
na pronalaženje njihova glasa.
07:35
The sculptor Richard Serra talks about how,
118
439225
4145
Kipar Richard Serra priča o tome kako je,
07:39
as a young artist, he thought he was a painter,
119
443370
2920
kao mladi umjetnik, mislio da je slikar,
07:42
and he lived in Florence after graduate school.
120
446290
4279
i nakon diplomiranja je živio u Firenci.
07:46
While he was there, he traveled to Madrid,
121
450569
2569
Za vrijeme svoga boravka tamo, otputovao je u Madrid
07:49
where he went to the Prado to see this picture
122
453138
2714
gdje je otišao u Prado vidjeti ovu sliku
07:51
by the Spanish painter Diego Velázquez.
123
455852
3760
španjolskog slikara Diega Velazqueza.
07:55
It's from 1656, and it's called "Las Meninas,"
124
459612
5104
Nastala je 1656., i zove se „Las Meninas“
08:00
and it's the picture of a little princess
125
464716
2209
a prikazuje malu princezu
08:02
and her ladies-in-waiting, and if you look over
126
466925
3687
sa svojim pratiteljicama, i ako pogledate preko ramena
08:06
that little blonde princess's shoulder, you'll see a mirror,
127
470612
3376
te plavokose princeze, vidjet ćete ogledalo
08:09
and reflected in it are her parents, the King and Queen
128
473988
3297
u čijem odrazu možete vidjeti njezine roditelje- Kralja i Kraljicu
08:13
of Spain, who would be standing where you might stand
129
477285
3405
Španjolske, koji bi stajali na mjestu s kojega vi
08:16
to look at the picture.
130
480690
1775
promatrate sliku.
08:18
As he often did, Velázquez put himself in this painting too.
131
482465
5067
Kao što je to često činio, Velazquez se stavio i u ovu sliku također.
08:23
He's standing on the left with his paintbrush in one hand
132
487532
4693
Stoji na lijevoj strani sa svojim kistom u jednoj ruci
08:28
and his palette in the other.
133
492225
2404
i paletom u drugoj.
08:30
Richard Serra: I was standing there looking at it,
134
494629
2028
Richard Serra: Stajao sam ondje gledajući u to,
08:32
and I realized that Velázquez was looking at me,
135
496657
2610
i shvatio da Velazquez gleda u mene,
08:35
and I thought, "Oh. I'm the subject of the painting."
136
499267
3995
i pomislio: „Oh, ja sam predmet slike."
08:39
And I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that painting."
137
503262
2252
I pomislio sam: Neću moći naslikati ovu sliku.“
08:41
I was to the point where I was using a stopwatch
138
505514
3201
U tom sam trenutku držao štopericu
08:44
and painting squares out of randomness,
139
508715
4438
i slikao kvadrate potpuno slučajno
08:49
and I wasn't getting anywhere. So I went back and dumped
140
513153
2018
i to nikamo nije vodilo. Vratio sam se i bacio
08:51
all my paintings in the Arno, and I thought, I'm going to just start playing around.
141
515171
3230
sve svoje slike u Arno i pomislio, samo ću se početi igrati.
08:54
JB: Richard Serra says that so nonchalantly, you might
142
518401
2832
JB: Richard Serra kaže to tako nonšalanto,
08:57
have missed it. He went and saw this painting by a guy
143
521233
3608
možda niste razumjeli. Vidio je sliku koju je naslikao netko
09:00
who'd been dead for 300 years, and realized,
144
524841
3768
tko je mrtav 300 godina i shvatio
09:04
"I can't do that," and so Richard Serra went back
145
528609
3872
"Ja to ne mogu“ i Richard Serra se vratio
09:08
to his studio in Florence, picked up all of his work
146
532481
2831
u svoj studio u Firenci, pokupio sve svoje radove
09:11
up to that point, and threw it in a river.
147
535312
3803
i bacio ih u rijeku.
09:15
Richard Serra let go of painting at that moment,
148
539115
3936
. Richard Serra napustio je slikarstvo u tom trenutku,
09:18
but he didn't let go of art. He moved to New York City,
149
543051
3526
ali nije napustio umjetnost. Preselio se u New York ,
09:22
and he put together a list of verbs
150
546577
2914
i sastavio popis glagola
09:25
— to roll, to crease, to fold —
151
549491
3288
-okretati, nabrati, slagati-
09:28
more than a hundred of them, and as he said,
152
552779
2696
više od stotinu njih, i kako je rekao,
09:31
he just started playing around. He did these things
153
555475
2037
počeo se igrati. Činio je te stvari
09:33
to all kinds of material. He would take a huge sheet of lead
154
557512
3317
svim vrstama materijala. Uzeo bi veliki komad olova
09:36
and roll it up and unroll it. He would do the same thing
155
560829
3798
i uvijao ga i ispravljao ga. Istu stvar činio je
09:40
to rubber, and when he got to the direction "to lift,"
156
564627
5176
i s gumom i kad je došao do smjera „podići"
09:45
he created this, which is in the Museum of Modern Art.
157
569803
5098
stvorio je ovo, što se nalazi u Muzeju suvremene umjetnosti.
09:50
Richard Serra had to let go of painting
158
574901
2960
Richard Serra morao je napustiti slikanje
09:53
in order to embark on this playful exploration
159
577861
3440
kako bi otisnuo na svoje razigrano istraživanje
09:57
that led him to the work that he's known for today:
160
581301
3270
koje ga je dovelo do posla po kojem je danas poznat:
10:00
huge curves of steel that require our time and motion
161
584571
5578
nabori čelika koji zahtijevaju naše vrijeme i pokrete
10:06
to experience. In sculpture,
162
590149
3737
kako bismo ih iskusili. U skulpturi,
10:09
Richard Serra is able to do what he couldn't do in painting.
163
593886
3271
Richard Serra može učiniti ono što nije mogao u slikarstvu.
10:13
He makes us the subject of his art.
164
597157
4496
On nas čini predmetom svoje umjetnosti.
10:17
So experience and challenge
165
601653
3936
Dakle, iskustvo i izazov,
10:21
and limitations are all things we need to embrace
166
605589
3660
ograničenja su koje moramo prigrliti
10:25
for creativity to flourish.
167
609249
2596
kako bi naša kreativnost procvala.
10:27
There's a fourth embrace, and it's the hardest.
168
611845
3560
Tu je i čevrto prihvaćanje, a ono je najteže.
10:31
It's the embrace of loss,
169
615405
2360
To je prihvaćanje gubitka,
10:33
the oldest and most constant of human experiences.
170
617765
4290
najstarije i najkonstantnije od svih ljudskih iskustava.
10:37
In order to create, we have to stand in that space
171
622055
2823
Kako bismo stvarali, moramo stajati u prostoru
10:40
between what we see in the world and what we hope for,
172
624878
3800
između onoga što vidimo u svijetu i onoga čemu se nadamo,
10:44
looking squarely at rejection, at heartbreak,
173
628678
4807
gledajući jednostavno na odbacivanje, na slomljeno srce,
10:49
at war, at death.
174
633485
2574
na rat, na smrt.
10:51
That's a tough space to stand in.
175
636059
2390
Teško je stajati između toga.
10:54
The educator Parker Palmer calls it "the tragic gap,"
176
638449
5389
Pedagog Parker Palmer naziva to „tragičan jaz“,
10:59
tragic not because it's sad but because it's inevitable,
177
643838
3967
tragičan ne zato što je tužan već zato što je neizbježan
11:03
and my friend Dick Nodel likes to say,
178
647805
3040
a moj prijatelj Dick Nodel voli reći,
11:06
"You can hold that tension like a violin string
179
650845
2944
„Možeš zadržati tu napetost kao žicu violine
11:09
and make something beautiful."
180
653789
3436
i stvoriti nešto prelijepo.“
11:13
That tension resonates in the work of the photographer
181
657225
3138
Ta se tenzija očituje i u radu fotografa
11:16
Joel Meyerowitz, who at the beginning of his career was
182
660363
3210
Joela Meyerowitza, koji je na početku svoje karijere bio
11:19
known for his street photography, for capturing a moment
183
663573
3240
poznat zahvaljujući svojim uličnim fotografijama, hvatanju trenutka
11:22
on the street, and also for his beautiful photographs
184
666813
3682
na ulici, kao i zbog svojih prekrasnih fotografija
11:26
of landscapes -- of Tuscany, of Cape Cod,
185
670495
3684
krajolika – Toskane, Cape Coda,
11:30
of light.
186
674179
2682
svjetla.
11:32
Joel is a New Yorker, and his studio for many years
187
676861
3269
Joel je New Yorčanin, a njegov se studio mnogo godina
11:36
was in Chelsea, with a straight view downtown
188
680130
3998
nalazio u Chealseau, s izravnim pogledom na centar grada
11:40
to the World Trade Center, and he photographed
189
684128
2915
i World Trade Center i fotografirao je
11:42
those buildings in every sort of light.
190
687043
4333
te zgrade pod svakom vrstom svjetla.
11:47
You know where this story goes.
191
691376
3650
Znate čemu vodi ova priča.
11:50
On 9/11, Joel wasn't in New York. He was out of town,
192
695026
2488
11. rujna Joel nije bio u New Yorku. Bio je izvan grada,
11:53
but he raced back to the city, and raced down to the site
193
697514
4599
ali dojurio je natrag, i dotrčao na mjesto
11:58
of the destruction.
194
702113
2125
uništenja.
12:00
Joel Meyerowitz: And like all the other passersby,
195
704238
2179
Joel Meyerowitz: Kao i svi ostali prolaznici,
12:02
I stood outside the chain link fence on Chambers
196
706417
2900
stajao sam izvan lančano povezane ograde na Chambersu
12:05
and Greenwich, and all I could see was the smoke
197
709317
2198
i Greenwhichu i sve što sam mogao vidjeti bio je dim
12:07
and a little bit of rubble, and I raised my camera
198
711515
3670
i malo šljunka, i podigao sam kameru,
12:11
to take a peek, just to see if there was something to see,
199
715185
3000
da malo zavirim, , samo da vidim ima li čega ondje
12:14
and some cop, a lady cop, hit me on my shoulder,
200
718185
4344
i neki policajac, policajka, udarila me po ramenu
12:18
and said, "Hey, no pictures!"
201
722529
2440
i rekla: „Hej, bez fotografiranja.“
12:20
And it was such a blow that it woke me up,
202
724969
3224
Bio je to takav udarac da me probudio,
12:24
in the way that it was meant to be, I guess.
203
728193
4056
na način na koji je trebalo, pretpostavljam.
12:28
And when I asked her why no pictures, she said,
204
732249
2043
Kad sam ju pitao zašto ne smijem fotografirati, rekla je:
12:30
"It's a crime scene. No photographs allowed."
205
734292
3091
„Ovo je mjesto zločina. Fotografiranje nije dozvoljeno.“
12:33
And I asked her, "What would happen if I was a member
206
737383
1469
Upitao sam ju: "Što bi se dogodilo da sam predstavnik
12:34
of the press?" And she told me,
207
738852
2204
tiska?“ Rekla mi je:
12:36
"Oh, look back there," and back a block was the press corps
208
741056
4094
„Pogledaj tamo!", i jedan blok iza bile su čete novinara
12:41
tied up in a little penned-in area,
209
745150
3810
nakupljeni u mali označeni prostor,
12:44
and I said, "Well, when do they go in?"
210
748960
1521
i rekao sam: „Pa, kada će ući unutra?“
12:46
and she said, "Probably never."
211
750481
2482
odgovorila je: „Vjerojatno nikad“.
12:48
And as I walked away from that, I had this crystallization,
212
752963
4491
I dok sam odlazio, shvatio sam
12:53
probably from the blow, because it was an insult in a way.
213
757454
2794
vjerojatno od udarca, jer je to ionako bila uvreda.
12:56
I thought, "Oh, if there's no pictures,
214
760248
2175
Pomislio sam: „Oh, ako ne bude bilo fotografija,
12:58
then there'll be no record. We need a record."
215
762423
3506
nećemo imati bilješke. Mi trebamo bilješke.“
13:01
And I thought, "I'm gonna make that record.
216
765929
1870
I pomislio sam: „Ja ću napraviti tu evidenciju.
13:03
I'll find a way to get in, because I don't want to
217
767799
2287
Pronaći ću način da uđem unutra, jer ne želim
13:05
see this history disappear."
218
770086
1868
da ovaj dio povijesti nestane.“
13:07
JB: He did. He pulled in every favor he could,
219
771954
4243
JB: Učinio je to. Povukao je svaku vezu koju je mogao,
13:12
and got a pass into the World Trade Center site,
220
776197
2513
i dobio je mogućnost prolaska do World Trade Centra,
13:14
where he photographed for nine months almost every day.
221
778710
4232
gdje je fotografirao devet mjeseci gotovo svaki dan.
13:18
Looking at these photographs today brings back
222
782942
2944
Gledajući ove fotografije danas, ponovno se vraća
13:21
the smell of smoke that lingered on my clothes
223
785886
2905
miris dima koji mi se zadržao na odjeći
13:24
when I went home to my family at night.
224
788791
1997
kada sam se vratio obitelji noću.
13:26
My office was just a few blocks away.
225
790788
3418
Moj ured nalazio se samo nekoliko blokova dalje.
13:30
But some of these photographs are beautiful,
226
794206
3616
Ali neke fotografije su prekrasne,
13:33
and we wondered, was it difficult for Joel Meyerowitz
227
797822
3115
i pitali smo se, je li bilo teško Joelu Meyerowitzu
13:36
to make such beauty out of such devastation?
228
800937
4342
stvoriti takvu ljepotu od takve devastacije?
13:41
JM: Well, you know, ugly, I mean, powerful
229
805279
3366
JB: Pa, znate, ružno, mislim, snažno
13:44
and tragic and horrific and everything, but
230
808645
3371
i tragično i užasno i sve to,
13:47
it was also as, in nature, an enormous event
231
812016
4296
ali bilo je ujedno, u prirodi, ogroman događaj
13:52
that was transformed after the fact into this residue,
232
816312
5166
koji je nakon toga pretvoren u ovaj ostatak
13:57
and like many other ruins
233
821478
1816
i kao mnoge druge ruševine
13:59
— you go to the ruins of the Colosseum or the ruins of a cathedral someplace —
234
823294
3849
- odlazite na ruševine Koloseuma ili nekakve katedrale negdje -
14:03
and they take on a new meaning when you watch the weather.
235
827143
4637
i one dobivaju novo značenje kada gledate vrijeme.
14:07
I mean, there were afternoons I was down there,
236
831780
1873
Mislim, bilo je poslijepodneva kada sam bio tamo,
14:09
and the light goes pink and there's a mist in the air
237
833653
3650
svjetlo je bilo ružičasto i bila je magla u zraku
14:13
and you're standing in the rubble, and I found myself
238
837303
4031
i vi stojite u ruševinama, šljunku i pronašao sam sebe
14:17
recognizing both the inherent beauty of nature
239
841334
3884
kako shvaćam da nerazdvojivu ljepotu prirode
14:21
and the fact that nature, as time,
240
845218
2754
i činjenicu da priroda, kao i vrijeme,
14:23
is erasing this wound.
241
847972
3395
briše ovu ranu.
14:27
Time is unstoppable, and it transforms the event.
242
851367
3834
Vrijeme je nezaustavljivo i ono mijenja događaj.
14:31
It gets further and further away from the day,
243
855201
2329
Udaljava se dalje i dalje od dana,
14:33
and light and seasons temper it in some way,
244
857530
4355
a svjetlo i godišnja doba ga primiruju na neki način,
14:37
and it's not that I'm a romantic. I'm really a realist.
245
861885
4144
i to ne zato što sam ja romantik. Ja sam pravi realist.
14:41
The reality is, there's the Woolworth Building
246
866029
3484
Stvarnost je, ovdje je Woolworth Building
14:45
in a veil of smoke from the site, but it's now like a scrim
247
869513
5828
u velu dima od mjesta događaja, ali sada je kao platno
14:51
across a theater, and it's turning pink,
248
875341
3944
prekoputa kazališta, i postaje ružičasto,
14:55
you know, and down below there are hoses spraying,
249
879285
3103
znate, i tamo dolje gumena cijevi koje prskaju,
14:58
and the lights have come on for the evening, and the water
250
882388
3009
i svjetla su došla tijekom večeri, voda
15:01
is turning acid green because the sodium lamps are on,
251
885397
4028
postaje fluorescentno zelena jer rade natrijeve žarulje
15:05
and I'm thinking, "My God, who could dream this up?"
252
889425
2177
i ja razmišljam: „Moj Bože, tko bi mogao ovo osmisliti?"
15:07
But the fact is, I'm there, it looks like that,
253
891602
4201
Ali činjenica je da sam ja ovdje, to izgleda tako,
15:11
you have to take a picture.
254
895803
1894
morate fotografirati.
15:13
JB: You have to take a picture. That sense of urgency,
255
897697
3193
JB: Morate fotografirati. Taj osjećaj žurnosti,
15:16
of the need to get to work, is so powerful in Joel's story.
256
900890
5800
o potrebi da se vrati na posao, tako je snažan u Joelovoj priči.
15:22
When I saw Joel Meyerowitz recently, I told him how much
257
906690
3353
Kada sam nedavno vidio Joela Meyerowitza, rekao sam mu koliko
15:25
I admired his passionate obstinacy, his determination
258
910043
3785
se divim strastvenoj tvrdoglavosti, njegovoj odlučnosti
15:29
to push through all the bureaucratic red tape to get to work,
259
913828
4583
da se progura kroz sve birokratske crvene trake kako bi radio,
15:34
and he laughed, and he said, "I'm stubborn,
260
918411
2176
a on se nasmijao i rekao: „Tvrdoglav sam,
15:36
but I think what's more important
261
920587
2404
ali mislim da je važniji
15:38
is my passionate optimism."
262
922991
3461
moj strastveni optimizam."
15:42
The first time I told these stories, a man in the audience
263
926452
2803
Kada sam prvi put ispričao ove priče, čovjek u publici
15:45
raised his hand and said, "All these artists talk about
264
929255
3490
podigao je ruku i rekao: "Svi ovi umjetnici pričaju
15:48
their work, not their art, which has got me thinking about
265
932745
4738
svom radu, ne njihovoj umjetnosti, što me navelo da razmišljam
15:53
my work and where the creativity is there,
266
937483
2668
o svom radu i gdje je kreativnost u tome,
15:56
and I'm not an artist." He's right. We all wrestle
267

a ja nisam umjetnik.“ On je u pravu. Svi se mučimo
16:00
with experience and challenge, limits and loss.
268
944779
4616
s iskustvom i izazovima, ograničenjima i gubitcima.
16:05
Creativity is essential to all of us,
269
949395
2251
Kreativnost je esencijalna za sve nas,
16:07
whether we're scientists or teachers,
270
951646
2653
bez obzira jesmo li znanstvenici ili učitelji,
16:10
parents or entrepreneurs.
271
954299
4359
roditelji ili poduzetnici.
16:14
I want to leave you with another
272
958658
2177
Želim vas ostaviti s još jednom
16:16
image of a Japanese tea bowl. This one
273
960835
3094
slikom japanske zdjele za čaj. Ova se
16:19
is at the Freer Gallery in Washington, D.C.
274
963929
2970
malazi se u Freer Gallery u Washingtonu, D.C.
16:22
It's more than a hundred years old and you can still see
275
966899
2536
Stara je više od stotinu godina i još uvijek možete vidjeti
16:25
the fingermarks where the potter pinched it.
276
969435
3643
otiske prstiju koje je lončar utisnuo.
16:28
But as you can also see, this one did break
277
973078
2917
Ali, kao što možete vidjeti, razbila se
16:31
at some point in its hundred years.
278
975995
2720
u jednom trenutku u tih svojih 100 godina.
16:34
But the person who put it back together,
279
978715
2760
Ali osoba koja ju je sastavila,
16:37
instead of hiding the cracks,
280
981475
2564
umjesto da prikrije pukotine,
16:39
decided to emphasize them, using gold lacquer to repair it.
281
984039
5716
odlučila ih je naglasiti, koristeći zlatni lak za popravljanje.
16:45
This bowl is more beautiful now, having been broken,
282
989755
4444
Ova je zdjela ljepša sada, nakon što je slomljena,
16:50
than it was when it was first made,
283
994199
3012
nego što je bila pri nastanku,
16:53
and we can look at those cracks, because
284
997211
2230
i možemo gledati te pukotine jer
16:55
they tell the story that we all live,
285
999441
2365
govore da svi živimo
16:57
of the cycle of creation and destruction,
286
1001806
3677
od ciklusa kreacije i destrukcije,
17:01
of control and letting go, of picking up the pieces
287
1005483
4927
od kontroliranja i prepuštanja, od prikupljanja stvari
17:06
and making something new.
288
1010410
1999
i stvaranja nečega novoga.
17:08
Thank you. (Applause)

Hvala vam. (Pljesak)
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Julie Burstein - Writer and radio producerAs a producer, Julie Burstein builds places to talk (brilliantly) about creative work. Her book "Spark: How Creativity Works" shares what she has learned.
Why you should listen
From where does creativity flow? In 2000, Julie Burstein created Public Radio International's show Studio 360 to explore pop culture and the arts. Hosted by novelist Kurt Andersen and produced at WNYC, the show is a guide to what's interesting now -- and asks deep questions about the drive behind creative work. Now, Burstein has written Spark: How Creativity Works, filled with stories about artists, writers and musicians (like Chuck Close, Isabel Allende, Patti Lupone). Burstein is the host of pursuitofspark.com full of conversations about creative approaches to the challenges, possibilities and pleasures of everyday life and work. She also "loves sitting in for Leonard Lopate."
