Though roused by the brutality and injustices of apartheid, the work of internationally renowned artist William Kentridge has long been inspired by the theatre of the absurd and other avant-garde movements in the visual and dramatic arts that have used satire and irony to deflate the power and conceit of fascist regimes.
This exhibition features six of Kentridge’s “Drawings for Projection”—a suite of short animated films that explores the physical and psychic violence of complicity and unbridled greed. Their unscripted narratives emerge spontaneously from Kentridge’s now famous technique of drawing and erasure. A master of visual allegory and metaphor, Kentridge’s dreamlike imagery attests to his exquisite skill and sensitivity as a draftsman and storyteller. The exhibition also features a large format print and an anamorphic drawing. With these works, Kentridge engages myth and visual perception to upset one of the most basic assumptions of empirical science—that seeing is believing.
