William Kentridge: "Return" | Art21 "Exclusive"
Loading...
Uploaded by art21org on Feb 19, 2010
Episode #094: Shot in his Johannesburg studio in South Africa, William Kentridge reveals the process and unusual presentation of the video work "Return" — a component of the larger project "(REPEAT) from the beginning / Da Capo" (2008) — which had its debut on the fire screen of Teatro La Fenice opera house in Venice, Italy.
Having witnessed first-hand one of the twentieth centurys most contentious struggles—the dissolution of apartheid—William Kentridge brings the ambiguity and subtlety of personal experience to public subjects most often framed in narrowly defined terms. Using film, drawing, sculpture, animation, and performance, he transmutes sobering political events into powerful poetic allegories. Aware of myriad ways in which we construct the world by looking, Kentridge often uses optical illusions to extend his drawings-in-time into three dimensions.
