I saw this last video semester in my Art Today history class. I thought this was a beautiful film. The medium and technique that Kentridge uses gives this piece a whole different dimension. He creates a drawing and then makes erasures and changes, and then films it again. He continues this process and gives each change in the drawing a quarter of a second to two seconds' screen time.
William Kentridge is just one of the artists that will be featured at the MoMA (also Monet's Water Lilies, Tim Burton, Irving Penn, and The New Typography exhibit!!!!) when Teresa and I go for our birthdays in March!
AHhhh!!! I'm so excited! :-D
