Specialist note

‘The changing relationship between seeing and knowing is central to Tag um Tag guter Tag. Is it that we see the drinking glass and the surface on which it sits but do not know them? Or is it that we know and can define the glass and table, but do not actually see the transparent and reflective surfaces?’ – John Yau
