amazing. Saw the exhibit a couple of years back in sydney (mca) legit about 50 times. I was there almost everyday of it his works were just that good.
I saw this in a museum in Cologne over two years ago. Thank God I wrote the name down in my journal, or it may have been lost to me forever! Thanks for posting.
kentridge is a gifted artist and a critic of cultures and so much more... I had a really tough art prof that turned me onto kentridge...
he is the best. it takes him 6-9 months of drawing to get a few minutes of streaming animation... and when he saturates the paper with marks from erasing and drawing... he traces the drawing and keeps the overworked original to sell later as an original drawing... he is a mad genius obsessed with theatre, music(opera), socio-political as all hell...
Im a great fan of his work but I haven't seen any since I was in an animationfestival years ago apparently he has a show on in Brighton (UK) someone told me, he is a great artist. It does help to read about his films in order to understand them, the stills from the film work well on their own as paintings.
the film is based on south african history, it shows that the country's landscape formed as a result of the death and destruction caused by the oppressive apartheid regime.Its a postmodern film, whereby Kentridge's technique of erasing and adding more drawings create something new.Notice how the bodies disappear into the landscap.the papers which cover the body can be interpreted as an historical record of south africas past.
Great stuff. Ingenious. Does anyone have more information on Kentridges work with handspan theatre??? Please call. And who wrote the music for this animation???
This is so amazing. What an artist. Sad story tough... Saw this at samtidskunst museumet in Norway...
