Specifications
William Kentridge, one of today’s leading contemporary artists, explores how his creative world took shape: from the first photograph he took to his acting studies, his theatre posters and his work in film.
In his book In Praise of Shadows: From the Studio to the Stage, he shows how intuitions, associations and objects migrate from a tabletop model in his studio to opera houses and exhibition spaces, where they engage with music and connect with the outside world.
Kentridge celebrates the pleasures of absurdity and illusion, resisting purely rational thought. When certainties collapse, he lets ambiguity and doubt emerge, allowing the “less good idea” to flourish. With humour and without restraint, he traces new ways to create a large-scale visual language for classical works, from Mozart to Monteverdi, revealing their power to express the human condition.
